I Do Not Understand

I watch the stars And the streetlights And the leaves I watch the fire The waves and the trees. I watch And watch Humanity But never understanding. I watch the laughter And tears And screams I watch them speak And call out greetings. I think its beautiful Raw emotion The way we are all linked. But the hate And greed And ignorance Drowns out the good. So I will watch nature And the stars. Beauty much easier To understand.
