” Psychiatrists and lawyers destroying mankind
Drivin em crazy…and stealing em blind
Bankers and brokers ruling the world
Storing the silver and hoarding the gold

Aint no use in preachers preaching
When they dont know what theyre teaching
The weakest man be strong as samson
When youre being held to ransom”

Outtake from the Procol Harum song “As Strong As Samson” released 1974.

Now 35 years later I still think this is a very relevant piece of text.

The collapse of the economy in the west,

the never ending fighting that goes on all around us, all prove this.

I think it’s sad that we as a human race seem totally unwilling to learn or better ourselves.

Oh the evil things that we do, sigh.

I wonder what it will take in the end.

I wonder.

Do you?
