Lost in a whirlpool

A whirlpool of nasty orders
drags our nation down.
An arrogant administration
makes our people frown.

We're lost in an endless whirlpool
of reckless haphazard orders,
by idiots setting many rules
and making many blunders.

A whirlpool of hasty orders
spirals down the deep
dark, confusing waters,
into a sunken heap.

We're lost in a senseless whirlpool,
struggling to break free
from vicious cycles caused by fools,
our hardships they cannot see.
