Chamberlain Falls

Refusing to fight the major war, the war based on principles, the one we can win We’re forced to fight a never-ending series of political wars…. ones that we can only lose We’re trapped in the middle of Appeasement River and headed for Chamberlain Falls terror awaiting in the rapids now ahead Slowing down the current or rowing harder wont save us, it only extends the time of our demise, capitulation pulling us under toward the roar As a country, we’re now in the middle of that river arguing over who has the water rights…. arguing over whose paddle is best Until we get off the river and back on dry land, Chamberlain Falls will continue to pull —and Armageddon will continue to call (Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
