Winning the World

The world is in divide
Across a black and white board
Hypocrisy at an all time high
(Including sometimes in me)
A split between the things we believe,
and stand for
And the things we say,
the way we lash out, in anger
Anger is heat,
The root of inflammation
An illness
An epidemic of emotion
We are burning
The Mind
The Soul
The Cells
The Land
Tossed by
Mixed -and some useless- steps
Campaigns
To sway
To scare
To succumb
As if there were only one right
As if anyone really knows
With all new everything
At play
And so everyone
in some way is a jester or pawn
But the hope is in remembering
In the game
There is still potential
To soothe
To strengthen
To conquer- or become-
The Queen or King
And there are many strategies,
Ways to win
