Understanding Or

I can’t stand the pain
When I see the innocent
Being judged by those who are insane

I can’t stand the words
Of those who see truth as blurred
Leaving voices unheard

I can’t stand seeing the poor
Lacking their needs
When we have an abundance of seeds

I can’t stand institutions
That don't adhere to the Constitution
Nor believe in retribution

I 
Just 
Can’t 
Stand 
Confusion!
