Released from confines like a tightly coiled spring
A man set in motion is a terrible thing
Round headed puritans and Catholic assizes
inertia once built fucks you up in many guises
foolish consistency rampages and reveals
while impetus can barely put the power to the wheels
trying to stop him is a forlorn hope
running hell bent down a slippery

Hey, thanks! It's good to hear from you.

I'm rusty and that one needs work. If I work on it more I'd like to create an impression of the way momentum can build, creating terror and ultimately making people go too far. I think such momentum is more terrible than impulse.
