I cannot move, I cannot act,
I cannot think, I cannot write.
I am the pebble plunked
Into the Irish Sea,
The monsoon washing
The shores of Japan.
What I do, what I say
Could change the world
Or render it unchanged
And that responsibility
Is too much to bear,
As if the fault for everything
Was mine - as if I were
Sole master of consequence.
