Panem Et Circences

Adagio

All we ve done is provide them

With food and mindless entertainment;

They easily renounced their liberty.

Hence deprived of will of their own,

Lobotomised, forced into docility,

They were turned

into obsequious slaves.

We ve taciltly accepted

this preposterous situation

In the name of that

accursed social cohesion

Now they will tolerate no subvertion

Retaliation is out, of the question.

They ve insidiously concealed the truth

Ostensibly in the cause of Equality:

We ve been coaxed into lethal apathy,

Desperately clinging to an abject safety.

Loathing our predicament

in this inimical world,

Stultfied, we are unable to regain

our blighted hopes.

We ve taciltly accepted

this preposterous situation

In the name of that

accursed social cohesion

Now they will tolerate no subvertion

Retaliation is out, of the question.
