***I Understand***

A poem about dieing....I finally understand why.
Understanding means something
It means your attention was focused
But attention does not mean you understand

Heart to Heart
Hand in Hand
One mind, One breath
Its time to make a stand

Sharing the voice of another who cannot share anymore
Someone killed by the wrong choice
All together in one final voice

Nothing protected by good intentions
Mistakes gone wrong with no intentions
If you could re-write the past
I would not write it differently

Everyone has the right to pass
It depends on them when
Don’t feel sorry for them
They now share generations of the past

The aging of the Earth is now theirs
I understand why

It’s your time to understand now
