all of the motion adds up to a fall
we aren't the ones we were so long ago
and now we find we're being forced to stall
it seems the manly thing now is to bawl
that what was fast has turned so fucking slow
all of the motion adds up to a fall
the lion that would pounce first learns to crawl
yet leaves a little over for the crow
and now we find we're being forced to stall
no one would say that we had not the gall
to claim a place where fools alone would go
all of the motion adds up to a fall
before the action we beheld the wall
and found that there was something hard to know
and now we find we're being forced to stall
that is the story we must tell to all
who come to see just how this thing is so
all of the motion adds up to a fall
and now we find we're being forced to stall
(C)2008, Ledgister Fragano
