War MAG
Why do you always win?
I pull one way
You pull the other.
And the rope frays.
My hands are burned from outside in.
But no matter how much my feet are anchored
And no matter how hard I will my arms to hold strong
You win.
The shiny, prized ribbon slides to your side.
And I fall into the mud.
Now you have not only the ribbon
And the rope
But me
On your side
Filthy
And crying.
