Yesterday, I was trying to fix the world
Then I noticed that my house was empty of bread

Today, I’m happy that there’s always bread on my table,
But I stopped trying to fix this crooked world
Or did I?

I know that the soul of this planet
Does not survive with bread only
But my soul does not survive without it!

Yesterday, I was trying to mend this planet
Today, I am asking myself: Who are you? How dare you?
How can you fix the world,
While you can’t replace your shoes?
