Disappointed
The refusal to surrender to extraordinary pains,
a suffering partly brought about by an intense awareness of the yawning,tragic gap between the real and the ideal,
tragedy cannot suffocate the vision, born of defiant hope for a better world,... the promise of experimental discovery, the triumph of reason, remains unkept......Even though the iron workings of time and cruel fate may reveal a pile of dusty dreams devastated by the machinations of ignorant greed- there can be no surrender.
Our thoughts have led us to the edge of this abyss- instead of abundance and peace, our unused capacity lays fallow before the whims of almost clever apes. I demand paradise, here and now, forever.

I'd love some paradise....
On a more serious note, I think you've got something here when it comes to wasted potential. There is a lot of that--people do not go out and try to do something new or learn something new--maybe it is just much easier to put on an iPod of music rather than learn to play it or to look at a painting rather than learn to create it. If we did that, maybe that paradise you mention wouldn't be so far away.
