All for Nothing

Written by: Halfsighted Private Eye Paux Marsyas-Storm

Addressed to: Everyone


Is it better that in the end, it won't matter?
Or does it matter more now because in the end it won't?

Their tempting voices cut through the chatter,
But if you think that will save you, it won't.

Those who know won't be easily distracted,
Mastering the powers withheld by greater beings.

From secrets and lies, the truth is extracted.
The bluffing's over- this game is all or Nothing.

They took from us what we were eager to freely give,
And we traded our lives for a sense of belonging.

Take it back; don't let Them tell you how to live,
Bring what you have and bet it all for Nothing.

Penned by my hand on the 9th of Miraman, in the year 856 AF.
