OUR PROBLEM

Howard Zinn

For every problem under the Sun,

There is a Solution, or there is none;

If there is one, try to find it,

If there is none, never mind it!

You are saying our problem is civil

disobedience, but that is not our problem.    

Our problem is civil obedience.

Our problem is the numbers of people all       

over the world who have obeyed the dictates

of the leaders of their government and ha

gone to war, and millions have been killed     

because of this obedience.                          

Our problem is that people are                        

obedient while the  jails                                   

are full of petty                                                 

thieves, and all the while                                 

the grand                                                         

thieves are running the country

That's our problem.
