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
