To The Last Man Standing (Poetry)
02nd March 2025
There’s none left to be in awe of
they’ve all shown telling flaws
the gaudy masquerade is done
it’s gloves off now — bare claws
No more false smiles or handshakes
it’s a dirty game or none
the rules were only there for show
the despot’s good as won
Don’t kid yourself it’s how you play
nobody gives a damn
nothing’s fair and never was
those old beliefs a sham
There are no heroes any more
it’s each man for himself
the world is full of aliens —
all rich and in good health
they’ve all shown telling flaws
the gaudy masquerade is done
it’s gloves off now — bare claws
No more false smiles or handshakes
it’s a dirty game or none
the rules were only there for show
the despot’s good as won
Don’t kid yourself it’s how you play
nobody gives a damn
nothing’s fair and never was
those old beliefs a sham
There are no heroes any more
it’s each man for himself
the world is full of aliens —
all rich and in good health
