HAD EAST vanquished WEST
had SOUTH conquered NORTH
what would be different?
Not much. Of course.
Winner or loser? It doesn't matter.
The result is ever the same.
Virtue prevails and evil's defeated.
Just ask the winners with skin in the game.
(NOT, mind, The BYSTANDER who stands aside,
cynically smirking, commenting snidely.)
Victors assure us, whatever their sins,
they are where they are because right always wins.
FINIS?
TIME, we believe, to call it a day.
At least, that is, for the moment.
Will we return? That's hard to say.
Depends, in a way, on who foments
what, who loses the plot,
whether or not we go further to pot.
Near daily near rhyming we can all do without.
Ergo, for now, BYSTANDER out …
The Proprietor.
