To Go In Due Time

So the world without borders was a foolish idea
Poor authorities suffered from disrespect 
Our sovereignty we have violated, my dear
Without taking notice we did that 
The military industrial complex
Is being revived to standing ovation 
Hard times have come, and it’ll be worse
Good job we’re free from further frustration 
What a blessed fate, love, to go in due time
Free from their peasant nationalisms 
From inane competitions, controlled decline
From taxation of the air we breathe 
Back to the garden, as it has been sung
Back to our room with vase on the table
We’re remembered by trees, as forever young
Resting in peace within our fable.
