Zywa Democracy of the back rope of unintended consequences

The vernacular calls
for control, no surprises
Customs and property protected
privileges defended: prosperity

It's a street race
of unintended consequences
Everyone spurts along
the back rope

It seemed to be good ideas
moving plants
channeling rain
taming animals into cattle

but one thing to another
there is no end to it
and we ourselves must
also be modified -

not humans anymore
but people, not standing
in the way of the people:
a true democracy

is still there, if it didn't drop --

Zywa Roofed

Since people who are not farmers
build cities, with inconveniences
and weak spots that they demolish

to improve the world
since then also fields
and grassland get a roof

with robots 24 hours a day
because there is a time for everything
exactly the right time

for the day and the night
the next phase and the harvest
everything can be made to the minute

but personally I still grow
uncontrolled, as it used to be
for everything
