Draw

Powerless enemies Crawl all around me Fighting a battle They'll never win Powerless enemies Creep up behind me This is a battle I'll never win Until it's over I'll curse my lack of power For the goal is not my enemies death or their defeat It's reaching our mutual goal and satisfying our mutual lusts

Very interesting perspective in this write, Tommy! I find it very compelling that although your enemies are "powerless," you feel it is a battle you'll "never win." The last verse is especially thought-provoking. Nice work! Best Wishes, Carolyn
