Green Cheese

Rome wasn't built in a day  
Pyramids weren't built in a week  
No matter what the people say
Kingdoms aren't gained by the meek  
 
They teach that to keep control  
Know that knowledge is the key  
We have to be strong and bold  
If we're ever going to be free  
 
Physically?
We seem to have achieved that  
Reality?
It's really only quasi  
Mentally?
We are in mazes like lab rats  
Constantly?
We're in pursuit of green cheese
