In conversation with a Swiss Astro particle physicist
He said that in our galaxy alone
There are approximately two hundred million stars
The universe is in his humble estimation
A collection of several hundred billion galaxies both high and wide
The idea that we are alone
Is little more than the furthest reach of human arrogance
Do you hear it
We have evolved too fast
Our purpose cannot keep up with our greed
Our devastation
Our non-compliance to nature
Our failure to be what we represent
And we cannot find our own evolution
We are defined only by history
And we will be remembered in tears
Do you hear it
When our children die in the war it's a tragedy
When their children die in the war it's a victory
Violence is a human characteristic
The pro-lifers are killing the abortionists
Tell me is the earth unpopular
Chinese whispers of love
At the end of another street the corporate supermarket
Puts out of business the local butcher
Baker
Greengrocer
Its inferior products are cheap
And flown in from exploited under developed countries
Leaving behind a massive carbon footprint
And an imbalance in the ecology of life
Its customers say its so convenient
There are too many people poor and in need
Can you hear it
Mankind's greatest marketing achievement is convincing us that it's all right
We're in safe hands
Life will be sustained
We are the masters of our destiny
Money is our number one objective
And the sole heir to our moment of dominance
Money succeeds us as the number one priority over life
In another corner of the world
Lawyers sue governments on behalf of their clients
Who have tripped over a tree root lifting the pavement
In response to the many lawsuits
The local government has cut down all the trees
On a leafy boulevard
A meter above the ground
Lawyers
Do you hear it
As a race we are unable to accept change as a rational concept
Extinction waits for those without the ability to adapt
And for the smallest moment in time
Extinction happens only to other animals
Society is becoming more and more suspicious
Of those of us who value silence
I am not a great man because Beethoven wrote the ninth symphony
Or because of Shakespeare
Da Vinci
Einstein
We are not them
Although we wear the same skin
Statistics delivers us fact from fiction
Life is constructed of miscellaneous things
I grant you my presumption
In an AIDS clinic the businessman said he was foolish
To have unprotected sex with a Nigerian prostitute
He hoped his wife wouldn't find out the hard way
We dwell in the womb of our mothers
When the world can no longer be bared
Love enables you to experience loss in detail
We spent that day together
It was the last day before we were to become parents
We let out all our lifeboats
Her eyes were loaded
This is the sound of the Earth spinning
