A Hundred Years Today

It's ticker tape and wave-you-off
And steer on straight ahead
A throng of hope and appetite.
In wait, the ocean bed.

Oblivious oblivion
Titanically leering
From a wall of glass,
And a deathly mirror
Titanically sneering.

The band played on
And a thousand tears
Turned to millions more
A legacy of error
Asleep on ocean floor.

Evitable endings
Titanically leer
As walls of glass,
And deathly mirrors
Titanically sneer.
