brighter horizons

the rules make room for little but the past
we aren't supposed to question nor demand
on the slow stream our messages are cast

a different day will come upon us fast
what means we'll have had better be to hand
the rules make room for little but the past

at times we will just have to stand aghast
at every change that comes upon the land
on the slow stream our messages are cast

too many years we've served before the mast
and now they cast us off when we can't stand
the rules make room for little but the past

no place to hide and surely comes the blast
when an end comes it will be safely planned
on the slow stream our messages are cast

no matter what the choices are not vast
what might have been will certainly be banned
the rules make room for little but the past
on the slow stream our messages are cast
