What a sad state of affairs it is
when the cure becomes the ailment
when hope turns to despair
when loves turns to disdain.
What a sad state of affairs it is
when the free are enslaved
when information has a price
and when laws are unjust.
What a sad state of affairs it is
when people worship their tools;
when the path is worshiped
as opposed to traveled.
What a sad state of affairs it is
when empathy and kindness are mocked
and subtle wickedness is the status quo.
What a sad state of affairs it is
that we find ourselves in today.

What a sad state of affairs it is
when the cure becomes the ailment
when hope turns to despair
when loves turns to disdain.
What a sad state of affairs it is
when the free are enslaved
when information has a price
and when laws are unjust.
What a sad state of affairs it is
when people worship their tools;
when the path is worshiped
as opposed to traveled.
What a sad state of affairs it is
when empathy and kindness are mocked
and subtle wickedness is the status quo.
What a sad state of affairs it is
that we find ourselves in today.
