What Does It Mean Poem by Alandra Nicole Moreira

What does it mean
Help me understand
Why can't we stand
Together as a nation
As a land

What does it mean
When there is a war
Do you know
What you are fighting for

What does it mean
When people can not eat
Because they can not afford to

I just don't see
So please
Explain this to me

What does it mean
When I can not sit through a day
Without wondering if it will end okay

C'mon explain it to me
Do the best you can
Buy you can not tell me
You can not say
That there is not a better way
