Baharak Sedigh, The world

We've become heartless in the name of freedom,

ruthless in the name of fear.

We've become too proud, too hungry–

hardened souls and lying dreams.

So when did our integrity become so cheap?

Black, White, Muslim to Jew,

from saints to sinners,

the blind or the enlightened few–

we're all hypocrites.

We are all hypocrites.

Including me.
