(part XII)
Inside the walls
Became safer and safer
So that food
Was no longer unsafely natural
It came in small packages
Properly balanced
For full health benefits
And longer life span.
Laws were no longer questioned
For they were made
With safety in mind.
Rules were not broken
For the unsafe were strictly punished
And those
Who had found success
In the early days of Fear
Were those who now ruled
In the days of Safety.
(part XIV)
I’ve punished you for your sins
This task hasn’t been easy
As I’ve watched you suffer here
From my spot of total control
I’ve laid down the obstacles
You’ve fought along the way
That have caused you great grief
And left you helplessly stricken
The reason for this madness
For all of this torment
Is written in books
Laid out in the plans
But, I suppose you missed those
As you tramped forth on your way
To busy to heed the warnings
In your adversity ways
Ignorance hasn’t paid off then
Has it for you?
Do you regret what you’ve done
As you sit at the gates?
Regardless, this is the fate
You’ve chosen to face
I played out your cards
You thought you had laid
