losses of our cargo

I'm not sailing toward the future
I'm sailing toward the now
to keep this ship afloat
and a functional bow

Storms are difficult
but no directions are worse
backtracking and sidestepping
causes losses of our cargo

these 24 hours are important
not to set sail for tomorrow
to feel the ocean breeze currently
not dazed and haphazardly

attention McGee attention!
Keep swabbing the deck
prevention please prevention!
Don't lose all the cargo!

Storms are difficult
but no directions are worse
backtracking and sidestepping
causes losses of our cargo
