I fight a battle against a long forgotten foe.

One who was once thought an ally,

One who would not betray.

And yet it betrayed,

It failed.

Will it not work,

Does it play fairly,

All must play fair.

Rules are of the heart,

Those of understanding know the law,

Others are pawns.

To be played and manipulated,

Conquered and taught,

Under cover of light.

Half truths,

Partial knowledge to aid in their campaign
