Winter has come,
the Long Night has come
to Game of Thrones.
But Game it is not.
Thrones compete,
React,
Slaughter
for Dominance.
Prior wars forgotten
as fresh alliances
Forge between
Past combatants,
while former friendships
Transform to enmities.
Searching for power
and treasure corrupt
and divide
Never contemplating
Divide and Share
can supplant
Divide and Conquer,
that Peace
can
supersede War,
that Power With
can
surpass Power Over.
White Walkers
Our Unconscious
Searching,
Tracking,
Coming for us.
We can
Defeat them
when
We know Ourselves,
our Pasts,
our Todays,
when
we Imagine
Coming closer
toward
the Conscious
Visionary
Thinkers
we are
and
can still become.
No, this is no Game at all.
Rather, the
World’s Saga.
We normalize
Burying the dead
as Despots
Blare Jingoist cries.
We Renounce
our Rights
our Liberty
for False Promises
of Security.
They Invent
Subversive
Invading Nemeses
to Gain,
Maintain,
Enhance
their Strangle Hold,
which
Threatens Destruction
from Within
the Nation Itself.
No, this is no Game at all.
Rather a Mirror,
a Cautionary Tale
a Glimpse
into our Tomorrows
Lest we
Alter,
Change,
Correct
Direction.
