"A savage servility slides by on grease"

  1. It is a poetic reference to automobiles as they drive past reminders to the brave war dead. Savage servility means to be unresisting; a reference to the fear of those who will not fight for their country/beliefs. Sliding on grease means the lubrication in the auto.
