The one thing I will never understand, <br />Is man's inhumanity to his fellow man, <br />How people who call each other sister and brother, <br />Could be so hurtful to one and other, <br />How people can treat each other so mean, <br />Without understanding where they've been, <br />Who would lead each other into war, <br />Choosing to be the problem, not the cure, <br />Who have the power to guide another man's fate, <br />With hidden agendas mixed with hate, <br />Who think nothing of causing another man pain, <br />If there is a dollar somehow to gain, <br />Who would send another man off to die, <br />While widows and orphans are left to cry, <br />Though they may play the part of an impartial judge, <br />They'll soon condemn you for some long-held grudge, <br />Stepping into the night like some heartless thief, <br />Their only goal is to bring another man grief, <br />Manipulating others they seek to control, <br />For a bit of power, they'd sell their soul, <br />Yes, the one thing I'll never understand, <br />Is man's inhumanity to his fellow man. <br /> <br />09-23-10.<br /><br />Alan W.
