Of Up And Coming Monarchs

sunken ships rest
upon the ocean floor
where i’ve made my home
to dodge the draft once again
there once was a time when one could flee to the north
but canada’s not what she used to be boycott the world when she could not afford to thanks to the new american queen
swim with me and we’ll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free
the mermaids teach us how to breathe beneath
the line that now divides
actions and apathy
swim with me and we’ll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free
