Shadow Players


These are not players of fair game,

These are not players without longing gain,

These are not players who come when conjured,

These are not players who will freely falter,

These are not players who be not proud,

These are not players who will put knees to ground,

These are not players of defaced grace,

These are not players of numbed pace,

They are the players of miracles forgotten,

They are the players of benevolent lessens,

They are the players who are leaders of might,

They are the players who will not fight for their overturned rights,

Listen, Listen do you hear that sound,

The shadows of players the music has renowned.
