Written in the wake of 9/11
Perhaps ... Someday (Part 1)
Perhaps … someday … I'll understand,
The nature of my human clan.
Perhaps … someday … I'll recognize,
The reasons for our own demise.
Perhaps … someday … I'll comprehend,
The depths of hate we cannot mend.
Perhaps … someday … I'll figure out,
My teachings that are filled with doubt.
Perhaps … someday … I'll reason well,
The purpose of this living hell.
Perhaps … someday … I'll come to know,
Through lessons taught, and learn to grow.
Perhaps … someday … I'll realize,
Beyond just what I theorize.
Perhaps … someday … I'll grasp the cause,
And fathom all that ever was.
Perhaps … someday … I'll see the light ...
Perhaps … someday … but not tonight.
