Five-Year Plan
Why are they cosponsoring a future set in crystal and gold
I will be next in line for an interview
And my Five-Year Plan is stereoscopically polished
showing tractors
wheat spread across limitless steppes
rewards for everyone
We all have our Five-Year Plans
Why do so many end up wielding rough-hewn weapons
across devastated landscapes
through hostile populations
that don't fill out pre-incursion polls
