I DON'T UNDERSTAND

I wrote this poem in 2004, after a fellow teacher was convicted for child molestation. He is serving 52 years prison sentence.

I don't understand.....
why men choose to do evil when
it is easier to do good

I don't understand.....
why we defy all logic
and give more rights
to criminals

I don't understand.....
why pedophiles hurt
innocent  children

I don't understand.....
why people continue to vote for
politicians who lie and
leave them high and dry

I don't understand.....
why we comply with laws
that deny us civil our civil rights

I don't understand.....
why people discriminate and hate
and refuse to see that all men
are created equal in the eyes of God

I don't understand .....
a lot of things, but what is
clear..... making the world
a better place is one thought away!!!!!!!!

We all share in your lack of understanding, and we all support your concept that "making the world a better place is one thought away."

We all know this is not a perfect world, which is one reason that when one "passes on," it is often described as "going to a better place."

Thank you for putting into words what we all feel in our hearts.
