To Climb So Much Higher Sos
'The Sounds of Silence' was a warning for its time
How much lower have we sunk today
How much higher have we to climb
If years ago, folks bowed and prayed to a neon god
Then to whom to pray today, to an AI god of google?
If years ago, before devices, people could talk without speaking
Then what today, when so many text without thinking?
If years ago, honest attempts to speak truth to the masses failed
Then what today, when trust of everyone and everything has fled?
If years ago, prophesies were written on subway walls, tenement halls
Then where are they written today, and who will believe them?
'The Sounds of Silence' was a warning for its time
How much lower have we sunk today
How much higher have we to climb
