Name: Perplexed
Duration: P00H05M15S
Description: Written in 2010 in the aftermath of the 2008 economic collapse. There was flu pandemic (H1N5? I forget), and North Korea was just ramping up their nuclear program. The voices are intentionally robotic and artificial - supposed to be conversation between two synthetics that are discussing the future of humanity. Sounds eerily prophetic in 2023.

lyrics

Climate change.
Global economic collapse.
Influenza pandemic.
Terrorism.
The nuclear threat.
Eroding social values.
Ignorance and greed.
We have such potential.
But will we survive to see it through?

I have concerns.
I have doubt.
I am perplexed.
But ...
I am amazed.
I have hope.
I believe.

We are all so precious.
So brilliant.
So beautiful.
We have such potential.
But will we survive to see it through?

I am perplexed.
I have concerns.
I have doubt.
But ...
I am amazed.
I have hope.
I believe.
