Pulled Down that Slippery Slope

Spent too much time down in the rabbit hole

Trying to find some way of satisfying my soul

Searching for TBM Avengers off Chicken Shoals

Losing presidents off the grassy knoll,

Amazing how attractions can go so wrong

And yet, still last way too long

There’s only a lost phantom singing this song

These ghosts of midnight why don’t you sing along?

There’s a whisper in the air can you feel it

The silence of thunder you can’t make it fit

Time for another nocturnal visit

I feel deceived let me rest a bit,

There was a time I had faith and hope

Lecturing from upon a box of soap

But I got pulled down that slippery slope

Escapists stuffing their pipes with dope,

The chameleon who took the oath of office

A product of the evil abyss

Illegitimate, installed, and merciless

Ruling a society of narcissists,

The candle that flickers in the wind

Snuffed out by the deeds of those who sinned

Where is the truth from out and from within?

All those betrayals you had to take on the chin,

Navigating through the darkened past

How long will this experiment in freedom last

For these conspirators the characters have been cast

Captain, “There’s St. Elmo’s Fire on the mast!”
