What I Do and Don't Know...

I don’t why people are mean to each other,
Is there some sort of pleasure being cruel to someone?


I don’t know why there are cliques in this society,
Aren’t we all struggling with the same things? Can’t we all be a part of things together?


I don’t know why people swear,
Is it a better war of expressing frustration?


I don’t know why there is world hunger,
Don’t we all have enough food to share?


I don’t know why people harm children,
Aren’t children the future of this society?


I do know however, that we all have the ability to change and make the world a better place.
