Snails Pace
insistent perversion of civil conversion
massive revision of a confused vision
constant migration without true progression
simple submission to cruel oppressions
political sciences becoming less reliant
governing systems aggressivley intolerant
from emperors and kings , time still stings
oligarchy , monarchy , their orchestra rings
loud bells , a reminder , of continued changing
of the guards at hand , with whistles to blow
single file is the motion , directive we go
safe in their judgement , confident they know
unsure are the masses , trudging like molasses
oblivious to incesstant remarks harrasing
world history has proven our given illusion
self inflicted pain with streaming delusions
we are taught this reality to accept cruelty
to bow and grovel to a scheme so novel
time will only tell if all goes well
until then we'll remain as snails in a shell .
