Lexicon

It all begins with terms.
Fair is determined by who
Comes out on top.
Free is the force you can use
To compel agreement.
Tyranny is not getting your way.
Enemy is one not willing
To go along. Don’t bring
A rifle to a dictionary fight.
A win is a loss. What
You can no longer describe
Will eat you.


—Ken Poyner
