Too many talking heads, not enough candor,
\nToo many lawyers, not enough honor;
\nToo many fortunes, not enough sacrifice,
\nToo many opinions, not enough experience.<\/p>\n
Too many taxes, not enough tax-base,
\nToo many politicians, not enough voters;
\nToo many religions, not enough faithful,
\nToo many wars, not enough soldiers.<\/p>\n
Too many distractions, not enough learning,
\nToo many schools, not enough taught;
\nToo many asking, not enough giving,
\nToo many spending, not enough earning.<\/p>\n
Too many laws, not enough enforcement,
\nToo many experts, not enough understanding;
\nToo many aging, not enough living,
\nToo many dying, not enough born.<\/p>\n
Too many roads, not enough destinations,
\nToo many songs, not enough music;
\nToo many visuals, not enough seeing,
\nToo many entertainers, not enough laughter.<\/p>\n
Too many activities, not enough time,
\nToo many couplings, not enough marriage;
\nToo many babies, not enough parents,
\nToo many males, not enough men.<\/p>\n
Too many goods, not enough labor,
\nToo many followers, not enough leaders;
\nToo many options, not enough commitment,
\nToo many directions, not enough decision.<\/p>\n
Too many wanting, not enough caring,
\nToo many pretending, not enough sincerity;
\nToo many wants, not enough needs,
\nToo many stars, not enough heroes.<\/p>\n
And thus we fall.<\/p>\n
