the turning of the wheel

no matter what we say we do not feel

the pain of others right inside each heart

instead we wait the turning of the wheel

for one more challenge for the last appeal

which was presaged right at the very start

no matter what we say we do not feel

our hopes and urges have been brought to heel

and the last hero laid upon a cart

instead we wait the turning of the wheel

to see the message and to take our meal

in comfort all who come here will depart

no matter what we say we do not feel

we will start forward and then we will reel

back down in sign that we have lacked the art

instead we wait the turning of the wheel

for what is good the last hard spring of steel

yet still the while some fool will strain to fart

no matter what we say we do not feel

instead we wait the turning of the wheel
