Too many, too few

So many reasons, to complain.
So many hours, in pain.
So many tears, unseen.
So many thoughts, unclean.
So many minds, ignorant.
So many ideals, decadent.

So many, in vanity.
And yet their faith, unperturbed,
they flaunt their frivolity!

So few people, who care.
So few amongst them who dare.
So few places to hide.
So few bridges, wide.
So few wounded, survive.
So few survivors, alive.

So few minds, opine.
And, fewer revolutionaries
amidst them you'll find.

somehow this poem reminds of the movie, serendipity, where dean, jonathan's best friend, commented that greeks didn't write obituaries. "they only asked one question after a man died," he said. "did he have passion?" i think he was right. sadly, the majority don't live that way.
