Leunig.. When I talk to you..

God help us.

With great skill and energy we have ignored the state of the human heart. With politics and economics we have denied the hearts needs. With eloquence, wit and reason we have belittled the heart's wisdom. With sophistication and style, with science and technology, we have drowned out the voice of the soul. The primitive voice, the innocent voice. The truth. We cannot hear our heart's truth and thus we have betrayed and belittled ourselves and pledged madness to our children. With skill and pride we have made for ourselves an unhappy society. God be with us.

Amen.
