Every Spin

in the darkness of a room
in the quiet of our hearts
safe from judging eyes
it all falls apart

on paper or our skin
with pencil, knife, or pen
we express all our fears
and we know the strong will win

every game
every spin
every race
they always win

the strong 
inherit the earth
with every race
every spin
every time
