(R)EVOLUTION

The rattling of the chains,

The resonating brains,

The clouds of holy water

Fuming behind the clatter...

But it all froze down.

All in a while

A horrid, mangled pile

Of flesh and bones and blood,

Of hopes and dreams and mud...

But it all froze down.

From the bottom to the top

They swore they would not stop.

They pierced the lofty airs.

They shook the mocking chairs...

But it all froze down.

Under the fateful tree

There stood not two but three

Daring to pluck the fruit

To pass it down to their root...

But it all froze down.

A dream they now say it was-

A dream fraught with flaws.

A dream that had no hope

Riding a downward slope...

It all froze down.
