The Wheels of Society

The wheels of society
Go round and round
Stuck in one gear
Something just seems so wrong
Sitting there not moving
No improvement it tries to make
Disproving is all it seems to accomplish
Deteriorating day after day

The wheels of society sit with a frown
Yet laughing at times
But still no happiness can be found
It just sits there as the years roll by
Afraid to stand and give a try
Yet wants to move but don't know why
It’s stuck so it gives up with out even find out
How to try

The wheels of society
Are stuck in smut
Lies, Injustice, Ignorance
Timidity and laziness
The very great masters of enslavement
The wheels on society
Just sit and mope
Enslave in the smut
Cause they don't know how to cope

The wheels of society
Are afraid of change
Afraid to get up, afraid to lead
Afraid to make a path and support they needs
So they go deeper in tranquility
Like looking into death waters
As shaded as one mind can see
Yet it can't see what comes in a distance
To attack thee

The wheels of society
Needs to get moving
Start improving, maneuvering
Getting all the gears in check
And start rolling down Liberty Street
Breaking free from the smut
Cause it can hold us no more
So when the wheels on society finally get rolling
Then they can say we are free.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality.
