That slippery slope?
I call it the hell-slide.

Begin that descent.
You’ll justify it at all costs.

You’ll bluster and shout
You’ll wave your arms.

You’ll step on some skulls
And you’ll keep on waving.

Your conscience will call
And you won’t hear.

And, as the water gathers
Around your ankles,

You’ll still be waving
And you’ll drown.
