How does the poet bear witness to tragedy or more difficult aspects of human life?
The speaker states that adults are left without someone to look after them. He wants to indicate that Jews had gone through many hardships, e.g., the Holocaust. The poem is cynical at first. God turns his back on adults, unlike children. This suggests that God is only benevolent toward the innocent. The adults that truly need the help may not receive it. The poem takes a more positive turn after the second stanza. He suggests that God does want to help his people. As long as grown-ups truly love him, God will lend out his helping hand. Love is the only way to reach euphoria.
