Question?

Have you ever stood
On top of the mountain,
Breathing the fresh, clean air,
Unpolluted and invigorating,
And then gone down into the valley,
So full of stench, dust and corruption,
And with your very heart and soul
Longed to return to the mountain top,
But found that you did not have the strength?
