Insulate
We make clothes To insulate ourselves From cold and wind
We build houses To insulate ourselves From rain and snow
We kill tigers and snakes To insulate ourselves From animal bite
We invent vaccines To insulate ourselves From the scorch of viruses
We fortify fortresses To insulate ourselves From attack by other people
We swim in the lifeguarded pools To insulate ourselves From the unknowns and knowns of beaches and rivers
We follow the norms of the society To insulate ourselves From social disgrace
We buy insurances To insulate ourselves From the vicissitude of life
We organize unions To insulate ourselves From the bully of big bosses
We create pension systems To insulate ourselves From the frailty of the old age
We expand public sectors To insulate ourselves From the up and down of the private economy
We apply our ingenuity To insulate ourselves From all the pain and discomfort
With our success We insulate ourselves From all the fear and excitement
So we create drugs and video games To insulate ourselves From total boredom
