Is This Really Living

Failure to evolve
war poverty death and hunger
these are things we cannot solve
we know hardly anything
what is it that we teach
we are but a grain of sand on this celestial beach
so many things in this world
that we don't even understand
why is it that we were put here
is there some master plan
we could all go from the push of a button
this whole planet could go sour
the wrong people have the technology
the corrupt people have all the power
