Informatik - Violation

who am i to criticize
the wasting of so many lives around us
what's the process
do we notice
did we exceed our capacity
for compassion human dignity
understanding caring sympathy
are no match for greed

all this madness without a reason
implicating the situation
no excaping participation
forced to witness the violation

everyday it's getting colder
as the world is getting older
how much longer can we philosophize

after all has been said and done
we've only just begun
will we ever wake
is it too late
