World Question

I have more questions.
I am asking again.
I don't know why
I have so many questions.
I wish I did.
All of today's questions
Start with why.
Why are we here?
Why are we lonely?
Why is there anger,
Or hatred?
Or war?
Why is there death,
Or divorce,
Or pain?
Why isn't the world
A happier place?
Why can't people
Get along?
Why can't everyone
Just be friends?
Why don't love,
And joy,
And kindness,
And compassion
Rule the world?
Why aren't humans
More humane?
