Strategies

that stark line
between the way
things happen when left alone
and the result of intervention

one side allows alignment
with greater forces to occur
the other side opposes
seeks to exert control

left alone for long enough
one of these sides will fail
exertion must be sustained
all for the sake of fighting

drawing a line in the sand
with forces one fails to comprehend
in due time can lead only
to loss of illusion, and that at what cost?
