Angst
Armours on, shields drawn whilst kneeling on the knives
Devoted like unsolicited wives to this treacherous play
We are neither epic nor anonymous
Us, fools and time a hocus
The dismal thus far is nothing
Compared to the grand battle that awaits
Notions conflict, wages war
By far cowardly reasons are at par
Fate and luck threaded like fine-woven silk
But in the hands of a disabled to milk
