This Second

someone dies
somewhere
for no reason

why

someone
ends life every
so many seconds
in one country alone

to be with many
who do the same
for some reason

obscure as it may seem
the reality of that
grows over time

why

to reveal the 
Weltschmertz
ever present

why ?

I looked it up. So you are thoughtful, reflective, saddened by life, longing for hope... Poetry expresses these things so well.
