    Listen<\/b><\/p>\n

    with the night falling we are saying thank you
    \nwe are stopping on the bridge to bow from the railings
    \nwe are running out of the glass rooms
    \nwith our mouths full of food to look at the sky
    \nand say thank you
    \nwe are standing by the water looking out
    \nin different directions<\/p>\n

    back from a series of hospitals back from a mugging
    \nafter funerals we are saying thank you
    \nafter the news of the dead
    \nwhether or not we knew them we are saying thank you
    \nin a culture up to its chin in shame
    \nliving in the stench it has chosen we are saying thank you<\/p>\n

    over telephones we are saying thank you
    \nin doorways and in the backs of cars and in elevators
    \nremembering wars and the police at the back door
    \nand the beatings on stairs we are saying thank you
    \nin the banks that use us we are saying thank you
    \nwith the crooks in office with the rich and fashionable
    \nunchanged we go on saying thank you thank you<\/p>\n

    with the animals dying around us
    \nour lost feelings we are saying thank you
    \nwith the forests falling faster and faster then the minutes
    \nof our lives we are saying thank you
    \nwith the words going out like cells of a brain
    \nwith the cities growing over us like the earth
    \nwe are saying thank you faster and faster
    \nwith nobody listening we are saying thank you
    \nwe are saying thank you and waving
    \ndark though it is<\/p>\n
