Decades |
Time is like a serpent |
That devours its own tail |
The coils grow ever-tighter |
With each moment it inhales |
A foreboding sense of deja vú |
That cannot be ignored |
It’s hard to help but feel |
We’ve seen and done this all before |
History be damned |
It’s only progress we embrace |
Our eyes closed to the circles |
That our memories re-trace |
Arrogance & avarice |
Distort our field of view |
A re-run culture takes your past |
And sells it back to you |
Decades pass and years go by Days dissolve into the ether |
Condense like clouds |
And come raining back down |
But we are blind to this debris |
Piling up around our feet |
Oblivious |
And it’s killing us Fear and loathing paralyze |
The populace throughout |
Disengage the rhetoric |
That brought this all about |
Overcome and overrun |
Pretend all this is new |
Surely we’ll be hailed as heroes |
When this all is through |
Our memory is short |
We throw all caution to the wind |
The story’s changed so much |
We can’t recall how it begins |
Foresight is an absent friend |
We left in distant days |
Reflection makes us realize |
The error of our ways |
