Winner Takes All Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Insignificant and trivial wars fought.
As if somewhere in the Universe...
Emblems of declarations,
Will be bestowed upon those victorious.

As if within the Cosmos,
A spinning ball will enthrall other life forms,
Empressed how a release of ignorance addresses...
Differences of those inhabiting it.

And what maginficence will be produced from this?
A winner takes all?
Of what?
A certificate floating in space,
That validates the eventual implosion?
