state of exception

our hopes come down at last to merest chance
that is the way when we are led by pride
easy to speak when on the winning side

you think it simple when we first advance
the laggard is the one you most deride
our hopes come down at last to merest chance

but when we run and you note in one glance
how many of us had no chance to hide
and all the anger when they knew you lied
our hopes come down at last to merest chance
