I Win

I win
No contest
Since then no protests

I win to keep my picture on the wall
And it doesn’t offend me
To see Darwinian selection pulling

I win to show I’m advantageous
If then you believe
I’ll hand over all the profits
And hope that something’s left undefeated
Now that we have dropped all this posturing
I win

And every time that I win
And leave you bruised on the floor
My darkened sadness shadow sighs
“It’s only going to extend the war”
