The day of calamity's come and passed;
Today our fortunes have been surpassed.
One electric change
Can make THE NOW so strange.

  

Caught and mangled, 
Tangled in THE NOW..

In a tizzy
Dizzy in THE NOW..

 

You read what's chronicled in the news;
The deeds and episodes bring the blues.
What can John Q. say
The way the hand's been played?
It's madness!

 

Vortex whirling,
Swirling in THE NOW..

Gristmill grinding,
Blinding in THE NOW..

​

Absurd!--a zealot foments a crowd;
You heard him tell it and say he's proud!--so loud!--
It's just as we've allowed.

​

Charmed and boxed in,
Locked into THE NOW..

Smothered, smoking,
Choking in THE NOW..
