The Battle of Gem

on with imaginary weapons there was Slim and two men
fighting for what there is to win
they met a girl then
a source of conflict, a pressure cooker bomb that burned the eyes of them
a fond of Slim
and merely nobody knew she was a fake gem.

fell in love with Slim, that Gem
but careless she thought of all men
fell in live with Gem, poor Slim
not knowing precisely what to not win
sorry I have to leave she said, igniting a spirit of war that cloaked them
sorry I have to forget reckless Slim she told herself then

I will start my life over she told herself, then
thought Gem
internal war? that's what came out of them?
she sighed war's what made fools out of  those men
and now what was there to win?
nobody really knew, neither did Slim

the purity in him, that Slim
made him lose sight of what was next, then
he wondered what was there to win
and remembered Gem
poor Slim for falling for such witch, for fighting other men
nothing but failure were capable of, all of them

a real war is between them
who is winning? are you thinking Slim?
nobody is winning. not Slim. not the men
Gem, then?
no not Gem
gem is gone. nothing did Gem win

thought Slim Gem was only what there was to win
but wasn't she the source of the fire between them?
didn't all this war start by Gem?
why is he still fighting? Slim
wake up. Gem started the war and left. nothing was there then
it wasn't the war but Gem that made fools out of those men

it was Gem they were trying to win

them, the dumb Slim, the fragile weapons they held, those foolish men

Gem left them lost in a dark paradise, Gem damaged their weapons in a trice, and blamed the victims then
