The Metternich
System
Like Metternich
We seem to be shoring up crumbling institutions
Institutions that have no use for us:
Heavy-lipped Habsburgs, an ossified Church
Like Metternich
We ask if the revolutionaries have permission
To murder each other for the Goddess Reason
While princes and oligarchs flee for their lives
Like Metternich
We wonder if Napoleon won after all
