As I look to the starry night sky,
I think why.
Why do people have to argue and fight?
Why can't they simply just work their problems out
and make things right?
Why do men abuse women and children?
When really, those women, sons and daughters
while getting mentally and physically bruised
still love their husbands and fathers
can see the truth.
The truth being that those men are so busy getting intoxicated
with thoughts of thier own miserable pasts
that they are blind to see all the gifts God has made up
for them in the present they have to lose.

Still lost in the constellations,
I start to question my patience,
because I'm still waiting to live
