Full stop.
Beyond what you feel
you can sense,
but you refuse to see.
Pause.
Too much thoughtlessness,
– the usual behavior
concerning progress.
Freeze.
Growth stagnates,
the will breaks,
prone-ward bow,
hands on all fours.
Halt.
The mind perceives all,
though brainless is the action.
The warm heart beats still,
but the blood turns cold.
Period.
Life runs in circles;
there is no end.
Only the play presses on,
as losses mount.
Game Over.
