it is now or never

talk it out
the battle's won or lost
war with words, armoury
and all. clash swords, skies are
opening into sanguinary battle
or it mere prattle?
what is the secret?
this confabulation so serious?
is it my surmise
that this is all a surprise?
the way of the world is
not entirely gold
come king pins
and lynch pins
do not waver
it is now or never!
