I stand among a sea of colors.

We all gaze upon the focal point,

A battle.

Each general leading there troops forward,

Slowly gaining and losing ground,

Together, always together.

Each figure working side by side to reach their goal.

The expendable lead the way for those who carry the swords,

Those who can inflict the damage.

The king stands aside watching his men,

Living their successes dying with their failures.

We all are really or else we wouldn't be there.

Thousands of us, watching men we've never met

As if their actions had anything to do with reality,

As if we had anything tangible invested in the outcome.

Only we do have something invested,

We stand there watching, our emotions

Swaying with their every move.
