The System
Bureaucracy is the space that lies
between the civil of civilization
and the indifference of each of us
"it's our policy", the only libation
Bathwater of common sense evaporates
as heat bakes away feeling and decency
purposed seemingly only to exasperate
lulling purveyors to complete complacency
Like shipwrecked sailor, rafting away
upon and ocean of saltwater and thirst
"rules must be followed" all that they say
as, going under for the last, we're cursed
Systems bureaucracy, a creation of men
proves itself mightier than sword or pen
