A Crying Baby

I saw a crying baby today --
and I couldn’t help but thing about us

always fighting...always crying
nothing is ever solved
our problems never change -- just multiply
and i couldn’t help but cry

why is it this way? why can’t we talk?
I think back to that crying baby
and us
and how our problems are essentially the same
our sufferings are never remedied
and all we can do is cry
and although it doesn’t change anything
although it doesn’t help
all we can do is cry

i couldn’t help but cry
