I don't understand

I don't understand

A Poem by Owlsnest

I’m stuck in a world I don’t understand,

Standing too long, I’m sinking in the land,

How is it the water flows,

The earth spins and the mountains grow,

The animals run and the birds fly,

It’s all I can do not lie,

Down in the grass, beneath my feet,

Feel the breeze in the heat,

Yet in all the beauty,

The hate shines through,

Guns and bomb are the new religion,

Colouring the world in a broken collision,

Soldiers charge into unknown places,

Destroy the smiles on the locals faces,

Is this really what our futures will be?

Running around, unable to see,

Karma is only of our creation,

We have to find our own inspiration,

Or forever be lost,

Tick, tock, tick, tock,

Stop.
