Society's Sinking Ship
It was the day the axis fell when we all set sail
Mother Teresa and Atilla the hun are playing
Checkers up near the bow
The nun calls out “you can king me now”
Alexander the Great’s hanging his best friend’s
Corpse out over the stern
His life’s lesson still not learn
As Society’s soon to be sinking ship leaves harbor
King Arthur and the Knight of the Round Table are
Holding a meeting down in the hull
Wondering what to do with Mordred’s skull
Confucius and Gandhi are have a post-apocalyptic
Palaver by the steering wheel
Neither of them truly knows what is real
As Society’s sinking ship sails through the water
Gabriel and Saint Peter scowl in the
Setting sun off the port
Both of them know our time is short
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are
Arm wrestling on the deck
Oblivious of the upcoming wreck
As Society sinking ship passes by the
Leviathan and Scylla
Bobby D is playing Desolation Row in the bird’s nest
He’s ignoring all the passenger’s request
Stephen King laughs and yells to all “Ka
Is a wheel my friends!”
We all know it’s time to make amends
