In the Modest Way

In their own tenacious way
Luddits creep out of dust
Forcing time to stand and stay
In the stales of past
They crimilalize in panic
Everything that moves
Passengers of ghost Titanic
Though the news we cruise
Prohibitions fall like leaves
In the August rain
There’s no air for me to breathe
Under luddits reign 
So I violate their laws 
In the modest way
Like a rebel with a cause
Acts without delay.
