UnbearableThis wall that so cleverly divides us all.This shameful state, acting as though we are asleepBut you know we are awake.
A most interesting question if I’ve ever heard one.What would I do? What needs to be done?If I had an infinite amount of power over one thing,What would I base my change on? To what would I cling?

Little responsibility to say "I'm sorry," and not enough brains
To think about given problems. I mean TRULY think.
