In ancient times, tribes with clubs would settle
all disputes where brutes displayed their mettle;
it was so grand to take a stand and die;
get killed?! Some thrill! No one to question why.
The pawns they died, whilst puppeteers survived;
no fools they who knew which strings to yank,
how to align the pawns to guard their flanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now today elitist puppeteers
still stir the pawns, giving labels to their fears;
and as before, the fools stay in the dark,
modern pawns hurl bile in the remarks.
Detached, remote and distant – woeful snarking
used as clubs on pawns they do not know.
And so the foolish tribes will thrive and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
