Why Do Human Tragedies Multiply? Poem by Terence George Craddock

why do human tragedies multiple
an event causing great suffering
destruction distress could be natural

an horrific catastrophe natural

or a human caused serious accident
or a human caused serious crime
indifference delayed aid intensifies

misery suffering untreated injuries
lack of food shelter clothing heating
delays due to greed corruption political

divisions wars inherited hate agendas

some people justify reassure
'everything happens for a reason'
the reason is often indifference

or racism hate first fed with mother's milk
