Timely Musings

Falling down the rabbit hole
How far can this thing go?
Never really wondering
That we might join the show

Now the world has shifted
And the players have cleared the stage
Setting up for the final act
Stoking the fires of rage

Forget the past they say
Focus on our narrow claim
We know what's best for you
As we've already tasted fame

Follow us to glory
And never mind the rest
Our show is the only one around
Clearly the very best

But scared we are of darkness
And the rabbit hole seems deep
Fingers crossed we land softly
After all, we're more than just blind sheep

July 4th

Stars & Stripes Forever
The motto of the brave
With daring, strength and cunning
The nation that we have saved

But do we have the courage
To keep what we have gained
Or will partisanship destroy it
With pettiness and shame?

Those who used to rule us
Were idealists to the core
But now our vaulted leaders
For themselves want simply more

Maybe the tide will turn
And this land will again stand tall
Maybe we'll all realize
That it's together we rise or fall.
