My Titanic’s slowly sinking
The mighty horns are blowing danger danger
And the iceberg’s in my soul
No way now to read the charts
That might have found a safer route
Launched with golden expectations
To set new records on the wires
Steady progress, ever forward
Mindful of the precious cargo
Forging through the troubled waters
Then a squall blew from the north
All the maps were obsoleted
Other captains took the helm
Said they’d be sailing by the stars
But only they had eyes to see them
Battered by the winds of evil
Banners flapping in the gale
Sent a message of confusion
Warning help to stay away
Praying that it still would come
As the ocean laps my ankles
All the lifeboats are long gone
Every hope has washed away
And I must learn to love the water
That will be my final home.

This is not about the Titanic. It is about my working career.
(I hate this new format - There is an extra word danger in line 2. That wa the only way I could get a space long enough to type a whole line without it being broken into two lines.) Maybe I'll figure it out, but why do I have to.
