who am i to criticize   the wasting of so many lives around us   what's the process   do we notice   did we exceed our capacity   for compassion human dignity   understanding caring sympathy   are no match for greed       all this madness without a reason   implicating the situation   no excaping participation   forced to witness the violation       everyday it's getting colder   as the world is getting older   how much longer can we philosophize       after all has been said and done   we've only just begun   will we ever wake   is it too late
