Room 271

Suits and dresses.  Sunday best.

Lies become truth without any test.

Take a number and wait your turn.

There is plenty of fire - the paper to burn.

The jackals laugh, the hyenas cry,

but no one has time to wonder why.

Act or react the stage is set.

Shoot your best shot and lay your bet.

To assume that my fight is more noble, more just,

is as much a joke as it is a must.

The emotions play havoc, the lack of plays more.

The objective is peace,

the method is war.
