We used to be inspired by the challenge to do better.
Now it only makes us angry.
We used to be assured by the letter of the law.
Now it only makes us angry.
We used to be motivated by sayers of sooths and singers of truths.
Now they only make us angry.
We used to be awe-struck by new colors in our Kaleidoscope of life.
Now they only make us angry.
And the reason why -
As I scan the dark horizon beneath a stormy sky -
Is that it's easier to shoot the airplane down
Than it is to learn how to fly.
