Why?

Why do i have to watch babies die while i do nothing?
Why do i have to watch old men tear up like spanked kids and yet i can't dry their tears.
Why do strange illnesses befall innocent women and children, when all i can do is watch. Why do i see frownin' faces everywhere i turn that i can not bring to smile.
Why do i see empty stomachs that i can not fill.
Why do i see tears unending and yet can not wipe or dry them.
Why do i see pain that i can not erase and replace with joy.
Why do i see people hurting and i cannot give them succour.
Why does the world have so much fear to share, tears to give, why can't the world share love instead of hate, joy instead of pain, peace in place of war, food in place of hunger, why can't the world be unified as one human enterprise, why not one continent instead of seven. Why?
