As Before


Humanity blunders forth
To continue the same as before
Blood shall be swept
With the dust of the saw
To continue the same, the same


As before.

The market stalls
The same as before
At home or abroad
Where’er meat is hung raw
The same, the same, the same

As before.

Once they’ve kept score
The same as before
Every neighbour will bolt
And then lock their front-doors
The same, the same, the same

As before.

A drawbridge closes
Above a moat
A street is clear’d
Of a herd of goats
A four-by-four turns

Onto the same road.

Humanity blunders forth
To continue the same as before
Blood shall be swept
To the step of each door
To continue the same, the same

As before.
