Castling

When bad things happen, where are the people?

A man fights alone in silent despair,

while laughter and screaming echo through the void.

Indifferent voices suffocate the heavy air.

 

The window for change will open,

but they waste another chance in the cold.

In rooms of power, apathy keeps growing.

Psychedelic visions masquerade as the truth

 

They gamble and sell domains.

Those for whom ideas matter most

are led to the pyre, to oblivion.

Human systems are shifting.

 

So, it’s time for another soulless game

for the inevitable castling.  

As the tower and the king,

sharing the power, they dance wildly.
