the nature of the process

win or lose the message stays the same
events are measured by a single rule
the act is now inherent in the tool
at its most serious it remains a game
inside or out the thing is just a frame
we'll have to fit inside it warm or cool
we remain always in the same old school
and we're the only ones we have to blame
the season's one for making up new plans
a task that must be accomplished very soon
the structure lasts forever and a day
yet we've to face the limits and the bans
our light is still mounting up to the noon
only with purpose will we make our way
