So easy to not be patient; much quicker than silence & wait.
Never bothering with details; just hunger hunting for its sate.
Blind to any bigger picture; tunnel vision for winning now.
Closed off from any longer games; only this next move & its how.
The ease of pulling out plugs; the swiftness of life with a gun.
Forget even seeing the switch; the barrel sight shows what you’ve won.
One is dead & one left alive; the simple binary of war.
Just living one second longer; this is short-sighted vision’s core.
But, why fight for time & for place; when the battling expends both faster?
Why not stop chasing our shadows; & concentrate on their caster?
