What Fools Are We

What fools are we that sit and moan,

we watch as others sit and groan.

Take it or leave it, the old men say,

down on your knees, begin to pray.

Are we fools ? the wise man calls

ten minute's before a great one falls.

Argue your point as best you can

The time for Neanderthal man is now.
