The Ship of State

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
