Icarus Wings

Young Icarus in the beginning
Pioneered an unstoppable trend
He almost got by
But by flying so high
Met a truly disastrous end
His daddy had earlier told him
"You may have the heart of a lion
But keep in mind kings
Must look after their wings!
Is this a hill you want to die on?"

Of course I've been reading the papers
And quite understand what's involved
And between you and me
From all I can see
It ought to be quickly resolved
The pictures are hardly becoming
(That's something you should keep an eye on!)
So my question today
And forgive the cliché!
Is this the hill you want to die on?

You'll not find me casting aspersions
It's a line I try hard not to cross
Though seeing how you claim
To be top of your game
You have me at rather a loss!
I know I don't need to remind you
I'm one you can always rely on
But don't be misled
It's like I have said
Is this the hill you want to die on?

I'm sure those around you have argued
You have to try moving things on
I guess as it stands
You should put up your hands
And the sooner, the sooner it's gone!
This isn't, I know you'll acknowledge
An issue you should testify on
'Cause flames will be fanned
And they'll get out of hand
Is this the hill you want to die on?

This isn't a time for bravado
Too many have tried that before
It's the littlest things
Like the two melted wings!
That will cause you to crash to the floor
So here comes the Icarus question
The one you may well go awry on
If you're flying higher
And nearing the fire
Is this the hill you want to die on?
