Now But Then

Relieved, lawless foxes in the jungle
The lawful lions have vacated
Freedom at stake, shattered 
struggle
Some aree cast away, some 
migrated
How wee are we before these ones

Harmful contrition and sympathy
Must be walking their gentle minds
How oppressed are pressed without 
pity
Rarely rare to see but rarely as 
kinds
How wee are we before these ones

Then when they came here anew
Things were new and harmonious
Then these depraved minds were 
few
Then life was lively, never as tedious 
How wee are we before these ones

Then 'man of means' means 
morality
Then there was respect for chiefs
Now 'man of means' means 
amorality
Now there is respect for thieves
How wee are we before these ones
Now let's forbear like our forebear

Now I reserve my comments here...
