ROE

How many times must I bleed across a page
Before my veins run dry?
Is there an end to these words I find so beautiful?
‘You’re either with me or against me,’
He said with absolutely no regard for human complexity.
‘Follow me, or fade into oblivion.’
A fate that is our birthright, should we follow him or not.
Play the game, change the rules, break the board in half
It’s all the same to the man upstairs
Or to his ghost.
Drink the nectar of life, wander in the desert,
Swear loyalty, but never bend for anyone.
Live—it is a game with no rules
Which means that anyone can win.
