Think!

This is a poem that I wrote about 5 years ago. I submitted to Poetry.com and was one of those that was published in their coffee table book. It was written about the time when people were arguing about terrorism and how some people who selfly proclaimed the leader of the free world seemed to know everything to make judgments on who were the terrorists, instead of thinking why these things happened in the first place...

THINK!

Why did we do the things that we did
Why would we do the things that they would
Why are we doing the things we are doing
Why did they do the things that they did
Why would they do the things that we would
Why are they doing the things they are doing

Our rights can be their wrongs
Our wrongs can be their rights

We live better with people who think
who may or may not think alike
What if we feel the wrongs can't think
What would the world be like?

We would then be living in the right
and no one should ever be in the wrong
How then will we know if we are truly right
as our rights can be so wrong?

Respect others as they can think
Their thoughts are true judgment of ours

Learn. . . as we think. . .
