Half time score:  Benign!  There’s a biopsy I can live with….

Death Plays For Sympathy
by Michael Romani

In the feigned victory
Of death played for sympathy
The gods whisper at the score
Fatalistically wishing, wanting more

To feel right and still fail
Destiny teaches us and prevails
The pain is in us still
As infinity does as it will 

Shattered lives at this insurrection
There will not be a resurrection
As the cosmos burns away life
The detachment is all but rife

The monsters in the closets serve us well
As long as we can evade their spell
But, the fate of our crippled universe
Could not be any more perverse

We fight to protect our reality
Fighting for a vision beyond fantasy
When the worse is the best that we got
Maybe it's better that it is forgot

Darkness has come to talk us all
Humanity will surely take its last fall
The hammer has been carelessly tossed
And now? Now all is finally lost
