Array ( [sid] => 161753 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I don't Understand [time] => 2010-08-11 17:25:08 [hometext] => [bodytext] => There's no reason, no explanation.
How someone could have a temptation,
to kill another human being.
Making It easier than It seems,
to take someone's life away
Killing an unfamiliar face.
Someone they have never met before,
it's something you can't just ignore.
I don't understand how people could be so cruel,
how It's an option to drop out o school.
How someone could be dying,
and the people around think they are lying.
How someone can die,
and the witnesses around slightly pass by.
I don't understand,
How someone thinks you're suspicious,
when you give them a hand.
How people are oblivious,
of the beautiful things they have.
There are more pessimists then optimists out In this world,
Yet, we wonder why there Is more violence than before.
I don't understand,
Why girls are the most disrespected.
how someone we can be raped out of the blue.
yet,somehow It's expected.
And we're embarrassed to mention the things we've been through.
cause we're scared of judgment.
I don't understand,
how people can be so stubborn.
How someone could laugh at someone injured.
How someone could choke and no one will mind.
Especially knowing they have limited time.
I don't understand any of the above,
how someone can cheat on the one they love. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 295 [topic] => 8 [informant] => evah2121 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )

Beautiful writing.
So true how things are.
That part is very sad but there's much wisdom in these questings.
Good work.
blessings,
