De Profundis
What can we pretend
Or how do we react
When betrayal fails a friend?
Those twin imposters look nuclear
To wreck any pact
And so we let slip the dogs of war.
Yet there is strife
In winning or in loss
What matters in life
Is much more than such dross
But pain,our plangent pain
Reverberates with raucous roars
When fast fading gain
erupts in Joblike sores.
