Smart Enough

I’m not smart enough to know all the answers

But I’m smart enough to know right and wrong

Not smart enough to solve world problems

Smart enough to recognize dictators

Not smart enough to prevent world wars

Smart enough to recognize the hurt

Not smart enough to understand the mind of a terrorist

Smart enough to know the fear of their victim

Not smart enough to explain why one death requires three in return

Smart enough to see revenge

Not smart enough to understand collateral damage

Smart enough to know innocent people are dying

Not smart enough to stop hate

Smart enough to know wars aren’t the answer

I’m not smart enough to know all the answers

But I’m smart enough to know what doesn’t work
