I Don't Understand

I don’t understand Murder for power I don’t understand Complaint without solution I don’t understand Ego without accomplishment I don’t understand Action without reason I don’t understand Judgment without experience I don’t understand Advancement without merit I don’t understand Worship without thought I don’t understand Belief without proof I don’t understand Love without kindness I don’t understand Want without need I don’t understand Talk without meaning I don’t understand Celebrity without talent I don’t understand A white lie I don’t understand Falsehood without challenge I don’t understand Might over right I don’t understand Beauty without soul I don’t understand Law from faith I don’t understand Victory at all costs I don’t understand An end by any means I don't understand Commerce over spirituality I don't understand Greed over giving I don’t understand Hurting a child I don’t understand Reward for failure I don’t understand Too big to fail I don’t understand The Virtue of Selfishness I don’t understand Too powerful to question I don’t understand Arrogance from vicarious pleasure I don’t understand Ambition without empathy I don’t understand The sale of loyalty I don’t understand Money over honor I don't understand Ignorance over education I don't understand Cheating I don’t understand Hate I don't understand Why the good die young I don't understand Do you?
