Why Do I Understand This Man, Maria, Answering Maria

Why do I understand this man, Maria?
Because he flees the world,
For seeking peace,
For seeking truth,

Why do I understand this man, Maria?
Because he love his children, forests
Enough to leave them alone,
Because he had sufferings
And don’t know about them,

Why do I understand this man, Maria?
I too, flee the world every morning,
To seek peace amid trees and birds,
To flee naughtiness,
The world is not a such safe place.

I enjoyed this older one from you, and how this man is able to empathize with another.
