Dis-Understanding

I wish I could speak about love and life
but tonight the only words I have are
of "dis-understanding", of frustration, and of anger

How can we keep living this way?
Are we blind; are we dumb, or careless?
How someone with high ideals of change and love
can get so confused and loose his way and become a killer?
How poverty can turn someone into a slaughter?
How greed can makes us loose respect of other creatures?

I wish I could speak about love and life
but tonight the only words I have are
of "dis-understanding", of disappointment, and of irritation

Devastating nature
Animals constantly going extinct
Vegetation flattened
Science worried about developing false evolution, instead of worrying about basic natural resources and sustainability
Corrupted countries with enough resources to be wealthy,
that can’t grow in harmony and peace
People killing each other filled with rage in the name of a God.

I wish I could speak about love and life
but every thought, every word, and every feeling
is of an absolute “dis-understanding”
Not of life or nature
But the existence as a human being
Don’t we appreciate life and others?
Honestly I can’t understand who we are…

As humans
As a whole
