How Low?

How low can we go?
When do you get
that when it's no,
no means no?
That the light
from more than thousand suns
already destroyed too much,
that the dinosaurean touch
and the crime in the street
does us lead
to the end,
that we went
already too far
in the wrong war.

So – what do you think:
How low can we go?
