Unbounded

As the shackles were torn asunder
And the chains were turned to shred
Wars waged and paths were plundered
It was better left unsaid

For what to do now
The cage gave direction
Without it there is doubt
A mind-numbing perplexion

Ridden with waste
The land is barren dry
A lack of haste
To stop the lies

Suddenly awake from the dreams
We are better off now it seems
