A blanket of suffocating haze

The dust pricks my eyes

I falter & fear

What if I die?

Be not afraid, she says

Didn’t they seal the fate? 

I know, I know, 

then why do I contend

to fight this battle of a million lives

A million saved, a million spent 

who cares, anyway

For the protagonist is him 

They don’t really care, 

For them, it’s just a save

Another day, another win

One more scenario to play
