The New Captains
February 26, 2009
For all we've become and all we will be,
Take aimless strokes while lost on the sea.
Salty foam blinding your eyes
With a college diploma as a brilliant disguise.
Head out in a one-man boat,
Sixteen years of lessons to keep you afloat
In a world of bankrupt corporations
And C.E.O.'s selling jets,
The whole world is sinking so you'll take what you get.
For all we've become and all we will be,
Take aimless strokes while lost on the sea.
