Tragedy of Pointless Games

Awakened and cast into fleshbound pain
Into a tragedy of pointless games
False structures of bondage are presented
And clothe our attempts for understanding
Fables become fear-ridden ideals
And aspersions are taken as truth
Coerced to join this nonsensical farce
Beset on all sides by shadows in constant motion
In this reality without a name
How can one not laugh at this awkward organism?
How can one not ridicule the vanity?
