The Second Coming by W. B. Yeats

[YewTree]

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

There was a portion of this poem in the film Nixon when he meets with the CIA chief. Pretty good movie.

I think it is true that the best lack all conviction right now but can you expect a sane man to try and battle to save civilization against a mob of propogandized drones? The people who turn out to be a real threat to the establishment end up suicided anyways, our society is beyond saving. You can only better yourself and try to find what little happiness you can find in this life.
