I do not understand
Why deviants are punished
Why the soft naivete of children must be replaced by hard cynicism
Why people are pressured to conform to society's standards
But Most of all, I do not understand
Why people laugh at others' pain
(I've seen so many people
profit from humiliation,
growing rich off of freak shows
embarrassing tapes,
and one foolish moments.)
What I understand most are people
Who take just a second to take breath a little
To laugh at themselves
To stop taking everything so seriously
Who take just a little time out of their hectic lives
To watch the sunset.
