Autoplay

When we were close allies
We framed and forged hoax
Now fallen apart
Naught but the game of wits
They knew little about string
Now are stuff tangled in webs
Their stock no longer a secret
Everything theirs, adrift
Greed had argued them on
Now cranes and tail-wagging cow
The old smiles faded into naught
Non-existent their true nature was

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Few people stop even for a moment to find out the mutual benefits that cause alliance to be formed. Very few people would imagine the existenceof a solid string threatening the weaker party. Not until it turns sour, you get everybody talking about possible causes of the stalemate.
