"African Spirit,"


You Know I Just Don't Understand It At All!


I don't know the mysteries of life
Why I was born and why I live
And why as the sun sets, I must die

I don't know why the grass is green
And why the desert grows
Under my very eyes

I don't know why peace keepers
Are armed to the teeth
Or why in the name of love
We justify murder with thought, word and action

I don't know why fires can rage so furiously
And yet remain contained
Inside our driven bodies

I don't know the mysteries of life
And I don't understand THE Mystery of life
You know, I just don't understand it at all

Author Notes

           Life is a lot simpler when I am honest to admit I don't understand any of it all..
