==========

You've reached that point
Life's out of joint.
You're but a pawn.
The past is gone.

The up is jigged.
The game is rigged.
Make final vow;
Breath deeply now.

Bemoan your fate.
But it's too late.
The damage done
There's no more fun.

The water's deep.
You sowed, now reap.
Feet in cement,
The snitch's lament.
