Vice
Vice
You think that you have gotten me
You think that you have won
You think you have me in your vice
You think that I am done
Your arrogance betrays you
so turn that handle more
with each passing turn
you expect the pending gore
You think you can’t be brought down
You think you can’t be touched
You think your titled shields you
You think that I’ll be crushed
All metal has a weakness
It only takes one part
Its when you turn and hear the noise
That’s when it falls apart
You think that I’ll start begging
You think that I’ll yell stop
You think that I have nothing left
You think you’re on the top
At last your turns exposed you
The vice has lost its grip
The metal split to pieces
The screw you used has stripped
You think that I’ll just move on
you think you rigged this game
you think this won’t be different
you think were all the same
As you sit and wonder how
the wheels fell off your cart
I’ve watched take all your turns
It’s my turn now to start.
