sounds familiar

The great Way is easy,
yet people prefer the side paths.
Be aware when things are out of balance.
Stay centered within the Tao.

When rich speculators prosper
while farmers lose their land;
when government officials spend money
on weapons instead of cures;
when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible
while the poor have nowhere to turn--
all this is robbery and chaos.
It is not in keeping with the Tao.
-- Stephen Mitchell, Chapter 53, Tao Te Ching

"Enough said," said Lao Tzu.

"The eye of the needle and all that," said Jesus.

"Some things just don't change," I said.
