If

If a tree fell in a forest,
would anyone hear it?
If a stranger died in a city,
would anyone care?
If a wolf lay caught in a trap,
would anyone try to help?
Are the hearts of humans so far gone,
that there is no salvation?
Are their souls so torn,
that nothing could mend them?
Is there nothing to be done,
to stop the accusations,
that they will be the
destructors of the world?
