Universal torment is the nature of the game.
\nSometimes it’s right, and then the rules just change.
\nWhat was, still is, and evermore shall be, but not the same.
\nAnd laws, like mad chess pieces, rearrange.
\nAnd since the game is run by man, then one must have the rein.
\nBut who appoints that man is still in question.
\nAnd what if, at the helm, that man goes visibly insane?
\nThen who steps forward to make a suggestion?
\nWe dig back through history and analyze commotions,
\nwar, plague, heresy and insurrection.
\nWe vet anger, hatred, greed and other crass emotions,
\nthen boil them down to one big fake election.
\nA melting pot of irony, grief, graft and family trees
\nis stirred until it naturally boils over.
\nAnd that’s where torment really starts, with people on their knees,
\ndosed by ennui as devils play red rover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
