[Verse 1] When XACML arrives with promises so grand Policies and rules expanding through your hand But verbose XML drowns your simple needs Heavy machinery for planting tiny seeds Cedar whispers "access only" in your ear While XACML shouts through documents unclear [Chorus] Heavy tools for light problems Complexity when you need speed Heavy tools for light problems Overkill for every deed When your policies must pivot fast These giants move too slow to last Heavy tools, light problems Choose the weight your system needs [Verse 2] Attributes and obligations multiply Decision points that make your architects cry Request context wrapped in layers deep and wide When a simple "yes or no" is what you need inside Maintenance cycles stretch for months ahead While competitors dance lightly in your stead [Chorus] Heavy tools for light problems Complexity when you need speed Heavy tools for light problems Overkill for every deed When your policies must pivot fast These giants move too slow to last Heavy tools, light problems Choose the weight your system needs [Bridge] Emerging paths split the difference clean Hybrid approaches change the scene Lightweight cores with power on demand Scalability resting in your hand The future bends toward tools that flex Not monuments that make you genuflect [Verse 3] Organizations racing toward agile control Need languages that serve their shifting goal Rapid evolution beats elaborate design When business needs cross every dotted line The lesson carved in management stone Match your tool's weight to problems you own [Outro] Heavy tools, light problems Wisdom lies between the extremes Heavy tools, light problems Build for what your system dreams
