I sit in one of the dives
 On Fifty-second Street
 Uncertain and afraid
 As the clever hopes expire
 Of a low dishonest decade.

Do you know that World War IV has begun? You are in it, right now.  It is around you.  You can fight, you can run, you can capitulate, you can surrender.  The choice is yours and the reality is the future.  You cannot escape the reality.
