\nand so was Homo sapiens<\/em>.
\nTogether, hand in hand, we would
\nlearn not to be barbarians.<\/p>\n
\nwould soon create utopia.
\nEnlightenment and psychology
\nwould cure social myopia.<\/p>\n
\nfor which there was no simple cure.
\nMy righteous signs, slogans and flags
\nfailed to convince those who were sure<\/p>\n
\nand saw me as the problem\u2019s source!
\nAnd when I knew that no amount
\nof hot debate would ever force<\/p>\n
\nthat maybe I should learn to see
\ntheir world through their eyes,
\nwhich added some complexity.<\/p>\n
\nand wonder if I ever knew
\nanything at all \u2013 and so
\nI\u2019m at a loss for what to do.<\/p>\n
