I Don't Understand

I don't understand how to be rich
I don't understand being poor
But I understand being sad
There's nothing to explore

I can't explore today
I can't explore tomorrow
A dreamer who never found the way
To leave behind sorrow

Only the birds have a song
They cause me to look up
And when the gray sky is gone
If only I had just a little luck

And find I'm somewhere over the rainbow
A pot of gold could be just a smile
From someone who has a soul
I don't understand why no one wants to listen for awhile

Oh.. this is sad but true.
We live in a time where some people find it impossible to share kindness without gaining something back.
It's just sad.

Thanks for sharing.

Very whimsical poem and wishful sounding. Nice read and a little advice in it as well. Thanks for sharing.
