KALTENBACH ANNOTATIONS:  When I made this piece I was thinking that this was not a prophecy of a dire future but a dire present. Even for people blessed by life in a country with a stable government and sufficient resources to provide the basic necessities, life is sometimes hard. For people living in failed states that don't have adequate food and shelter and have no prospects of seeing things improve, life is really hard. In a world where people became unselfish and kind things could be better. I live with this feeling that I could do more to help.
