The Angernaut Management steered for the siren calls
raging rocks clashed together in the office pool
not keeping the ship steady while the pigs ran wild
as long as the bacon was brought in
swatting away morsels of truth, they picked and harped
blind to any vision other than their 20/20 hindsight
never learning to stop and wait for calmer seas
losing others overboard, waterlogged for decades
clinging to life rafts in the wake of past tempests till
we stopped circling the waters of that odd odyssey
and rowed away from The Golden Fleece
that we could have made any difference
finally pulling up our anchors to sail on
