I Do Not Comprehend Why
I don’t comprehend why
Human beings cannot get along
Why can’t they play and sing the same song
Of Peace and Love together? Why, Why?
Why human beings are killing each other
In the streets, the straits, the strips and on the river
Of life? Our stay on Earth is so short, too short
Why is somebody bombing the sea and the main port
Which leads to the avenue of reconciliation and peace
Why can’t each of us be happy with a piece
Of the pie? Why are we killing each other
Over nonsense and things that we didn’t bring over
Over here and over there?
I tried, tried to comprehend but I can no longer bear
This and that, these and those. I cannot understand why
Why some groups want the whole pie?
