I've passed the homeless on the street, Wondering if today they'll eat, And I cry, Why me? I know plenty who attend AA, And many who didn't make today, And I cry, Why me? I know there's millions unemployed, As dwindling aid keeps them buoyed, And I cry, Why me? They're lonely and they're isolated, The throngs, apart and dissipated, And I cry, Why me? Many friends and family die, Yet still I cry, Why me? Why me, indeed, a plaintiff wail. Why me? Why me? Until I fail.

Why Me
I've passed the homeless on the street, Wondering if today they'll eat, And I cry, Why me? I know plenty who attend AA, And many who didn't make today, And I cry, Why me? I know there's millions unemployed, As dwindling aid keeps them buoyed, And I cry, Why me? They're lonely and they're isolated, The throngs, apart and dissipated, And I cry, Why me? Many friends and family die, Yet still I cry, Why me? Why me, indeed, a plaintiff wail. Why me? Why me? Until I fail.
It's a question many survivor's of disasters ask themselves. Time to get out there and do something positive.
