Today I find myself utterly bruised
my muscles completely abused
the enemy so unrelenting
For there is no circumventing
He shall take no rest
treating all to the test
his temper so fermenting
For there is no circumventing
He continues his duel
so mean and so cruel
such temper and venting
For there is no circumventing
One must die
under this black sky
Is it not dissenting?
For there is no circumventing.
