Versus

Diametric opposites in the plague zone, Segregated genders on uncommon ground, Existential sexes in grey areas, Black and white battalions abound. Separation psyches clash the cymbals, Sabres rattled, thrusted and withdrawn, Subtle be their subterfuge endemic, Equilateral counterparts in scorn. Her losing is a mask of false perception, His dominance prevailed through brutal force, Victory consigned a bleak illusion, Blinded to an ancient Trojan horse. Triumph may be gloated yet is hollow, Garland praise a self-deluding flaw, Leaves he who is the master of the skirmish Historically the loser of the war.
