I Feel So Helpless - Rejoice

I feel so helpless.  Completely utterly.

Gaza, Iraq, Ferguson.  I can’t go.  I can’t stop missiles. I can’t stop riots. I can’t stop the evil that men do.  The greed, the violence. I can’t fix B.’s deep depression, or his binge drinking.  I can’t sooth J.’s anxiety.  Powerless.  Useless.  I can’t make it better.  I can’t change the world. God damn it, I can’t change the world.
