Helpless, Redefined

Kid next door helplessly cries
Such a howling, I can't describe
No one knows what he wants
Neither can he tells others why

Couples next door furiously fight
Such a quarreling, I can't abide
No one clearly says what he, she wants
Neither can they peacefully lie*.

Next to the window, I helplessly stand
Such a feeling this moment, I can't pretend
Peaceful as it seems, 
Its truth, the world may not stand.

Kid next door continues to cry.
Couples next door continually fight.
