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

Hope

Obama's speech was hope and light
But not for people on the right,
His vision of hope and democracy
Was certainly not for the Land of the Free.
His birthright questioned,
His policies stalled
His detractors triumphed
Through the Congress squall.
Now with the markets generally tanking
Housing's plummet and corrupt banking,
Though none his fault
He's left all alone
To shoulder the blame
For the previous king,
Who left the throne.
