Few people laughed
Few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita
(Vishnu) Is trying to persuade the Prince
That he should do his duty
And to impress him
Takes on his multi-armed form and says
«Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds»
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another
Why is it that countries which we call strong
Are so powerful in creating wars
But are so weak in bringing peace?
We have the power
To make this the best generation of mankind
In the history of the world
Or to make it the last
Our task is to look at the structure
Of why we are failing as human beings
And I say all of us
And if you don't have faith in the people
What do you have faith in?
