To man the ship of state is sorely taxing
Adrift out on an endless sea of numbers
That rise and swell, a raging torrent waxing
To burst the dike of sanity asunder
If tides would only heed the voice of reason
And stem this senseless flood of blood and slaughter
The sloop would surely sail on calmer waters
And glide into the harbor at Elysium
The master of the helm can only chart
The course that stars and compass have determined
And if the storms of fate defy his art
The shoals of hubris mark his grave for certain
No matter what the captain may decide
His course is laid by storm and wind and tide
