We say "food for the world"
when people are starving at our very doorstep.
We say we need to take more responsibility
when in fact no one has been responsible for anything in a hundred years.
We say that everyone needs to increase their effort
when effort hasn't been paying off in decades.
We say we need to find out the truth, no matter what
when each of us is telling nothing but lies.
We say we need to remember our history, lest it repeat itself
when we are just setting the stage for this to happen.

We talk about grand things like social equity
when greed is really all we care about.
We talk about freedom, and how precious it is
when we are supposed to let go of it.
We talk about safety for all of society
when you can't even go for a walk after dark.
We talk about justice
when none of us understand good or evil.
We talk about love
when this world has long forgotten what it means.

We think about settling new worlds
when we haven't been able to preserve the one we live in.
We think about about the need to care for others
when everyone couldn't care less for their neighbor.
We think about the grueling past
when the present is really just a nicely wrapped re-run.
We think about whom to ask
when the answers lie within ourselves.
We think and think and think
when we are supposed to act.

Yes, I realize there is a certain irony in the fact that I am just writing about this instead of going out there and changing things. I guess I, too, am a hypocrite, after all.
