I Wonder About Earth's Name

I wonder who gave Earth her name, the origin is obscure
Ask around and you will find even experts are unsure.

Which makes me wonder and I’ve expressed this thought to both my sons and daughter
Why name a planet after dirt...when most of it is water?

I Wonder About Labels

I wonder about labels, not on the things we drink or eat
But the way we humans label other humans whom we meet.

Labels highlight our differences and of this we must beware
Lest we forget the many traits and similarities we share.

I Wonder About Women's Rights

I wonder about women...who work hard, who nurture, who give birth...
Yet they don’t have as many rights as the men upon this Earth.

I think, perhaps, as the song says...Nothin’ would be fina
If the only ones deciding what’s right for women...had breasts and a vagina.

I Wonder About Human Rights

I wonder about people who think for Goodness or God’s sake
That human rights are not for all, but theirs to give and take.

For Goodness or for God’s sake civilization will never advance too far
Until everyone has the same rights...no matter who they are.

I Wonder About Hatred

I wonder about religion some times, it seems, we’re at a stalemate...
Many religious people find a way to be kind, while others find a way to hate.

I wonder if they’ll ever realize how much their thinking’s flawed
When they massacre innocent people...all in the name of God.

I Wonder About Goodness

I wonder about goodness for I like to think it’s true
That there’s goodness inside all of us...inside of me...inside of you.

To all those haters out there living on the dark side of the moon
For the sake of Earth and all her creatures...I hope you find yours soon.

I Wonder Why I Wonder

I wonder ‘bout the sun, the moon, the stars up in the sky
I wonder who, what, when and where...I wonder how and why.

As I lift this third rock from the sun and discover what is under
The first question is easy...I wonder why I wonder.
