Why don’t you do something about it?
You see the wickedness. You see the corruption. You see the pain. You see the devastation. You see the suffering. You see the oppression. You see the injustice.
Why don’t you do something about it?
Why don’t you just stop it all?
Why don’t you just wipe out all the evil in the world?
What’s that? You will? When? Why haven’t you done it already?
Oh. Oh dear. You mean if all the evil was to be wiped out now, I’d be included? Me? But why would I be wiped out? I’m not like the corrupt people. I mean sure, I might have done the occasional mishap in my time, but we all make mistakes. You’re not going to judge me for just being human. You should be doing something about the real wickedness and corruption in the world by those corporations and governments and nasty types.
But why don’t you do something about it? So much agony. Why don’t you do something. You probably don’t even understand what we go through …
Why are you showing me a cross? What happened there? Why should I care?
