A shiver of anticipation
As skies move and seas ebb
I watch as the spider
Spins its clever web.
Should I speak?
End this mess?
Or just watch as
The events undress?
The little things that people do
Thinking they deceive
The only victim of their crime
Is what they can't perceive.
The lies may live
For a brief time
The victory may seem
Quite sublime.
But, in the end, the loser wins
For they uphold their name
The only loser being, then,
The one who played the game.
