A Sign For Our Times

The wheel of the ship  
spinning 'round
out of control, the
captain below deck
spitting vitriol, first
mate and deckhands
at loose ends, no
orders or goal...
all coming undone
beached on a
barren rocky atoll

We are all sailing or steering, depending on the day and the circumstances. Great metaphoric write.
