Processing Uncertainty

I have seen to much suffering and pain
Shattered feelings 
As I look out my windowpane 
It’s more in-depth than you can imagine 
Terrorism to desecrate and intimidate 
The tragedy more than you can fathom 
I put on the TV tonight 
Things just aren’t right 
My heart fell, my face dropped 
More killing and more hurt 
You can desensitize 
But I tend to analyze 
And ask the questions why
 In this existence 
The life we know  
Can there be no peace 
No glow 
Fighting for this 
Fighting for that 
Soldiers losing their lives in 
Combat 
All for what?
The money strut 
It’s driving a wedge 
Between man 
All that is Green  
Is pooling the blood 
On his hands
