Why Does the Tail Wag the Dog

In human affairs, what prepares
A mortgage to funnel a home
A church to repent its coffers
A vehicle to search its on tank

What keeps stolen pride alive
While kingdoms crumble
Let it be
The barnacles of the bridge

Enlightenment rescind its kid
As chalkboards charter a change
Or simply rearrange furniture

The hospital panic to save us
When jobs dont cover the cost
All the workers will wander around lost

In the future to plunge
Awareness with an empty lung
