Listen to poem:
there comes a time when we are shaken
violently out of pompous and vain complacency

there comes a time for solemn introspection
for re-evaluating priorities and beliefs

there comes a time for sober questioning
meaning and grasping chance for realignment

there comes a time for summoning
self-awareness and restoring faith

it's in such troubled times that we are tested
and somehow the guiding light may shine clearer than ever

Truer words never spoken. We all need to stop and evaluate what we are doing and what is important to us from time to time.
