FOR WANT OF A NAIL
Proportionality,
It plagues us all,
Inadequacy,
A direct result?
Our apathy,
Veils our dreams,
Alienation,
Stifles our touch,
But for want of a nail,
A city was lost,
And the chain of causation,
Reverberates still today,
For want of a nail,
History formed,
And the future feels shockwaves,
Long after you hit your grave.
Bridge
There’s no face under George’s boot,
Just the billions of detached,
Living lives of dispassion,
Solo
