Society is impossible
A collection of individuals
Who when all meets up
Feel strangely alone
With only oneself to decide
Or choose someone to defer to
As if the action decided itself
Edged on by a little stimulus
Formal procedures
To offset the resort to force
If you’re not careful
That anarchist dream of your’s
Will become crypto fascist
It’s not a free for all
Some needs are greater than others
How can you justify to me
Why you won’t wait
Sure the State
Resorts to force
As an underpinning
But it is nominally accountable
Half the problem may be
That you are too old now
To recognise
What really moves me
Delegating down the chain
