Bleak

What a game!

To be chopped like a lone doll,

Cowering in an absurd road,

The intent of past,

Flaked away like rust,

The possibility of future,

Subdued like a whipped dog,

What do you do then,

Do you play the game,

Where even the victory is a plunge into swamp,

Or just break free,

To be stranded in sea?
