Colonel Jessup was right
He doesn’t want to put up a fight
It’s simpler to stay put
To keep the door shut
And find the easy way out
Not one to rock the boat
He’s happy just staying afloat
Sailing downwind
He’ll keep himself pinned
Never to be cutthroat
He will bury his head in the sand
He won’t fly, scared to land
The ride has to be smooth
He must stick in the groove
And play the cards he has in his hand
He will not jump in at the deep end
Dizzy heights he’ll never ascend
With his feet on the ground
Safety’s abound
Keeping risk low to the end
He doesn’t think of what could be
The future’s not set, you see
Decisions are tough
Enough is enough
And keeping it simple is free
Self sabotage could be the cause
Of the malaise he somewhat ignores
A feeling suppressed
Should be addressed
It’s been nibbling away at his core
But he’s lacking the courage of youth
He’s feeling too long in the tooth
There’s always an excuse
His ego left bruised
He simply can’t handle the truth.
