  2. To write an “I Do Not Understand” poem… 1.  Begin the poem with "I do not understand..." 2.  List three things you do not understand about the world or people. 3.  Name the thing you do not understand most of all (in addition to the previous three). 4.  End with an example of something you do understand.

  3. For example… I do not understand       why people must have revenge       why some people live for drugs       why others live for money     But most of all I do not understand       why people don't believe       we are running out of oil       (I still see drivers burning rubber       driving well over 55       going to work alone       like kings in their royal cars).     What I understand most are people who are depressed       who see a dismal future       where the world's light       is extinguished on the altar of greed       each person demanding his own corner       of the planet and saying       to hell with everyone else
