 
Spartan 
  
  
Fading scenes, unfocused dreams 
Colors spin and blur away 
Away from home, no kicks or screams 
To grim words and stoic play 
  
Rigid rules, dangerous tools 
Childhood spins and pulls away 
Away from tears, so quick and cruel 
To dry eyes and numbered names 
  
Some survive, others die 
Their future spins and fades away 
Away from life, so sick on lies 
To moving chairs and endless space 
  
Maddening pace, violent grace 
The person spins and melts away 
Away from flesh, with hidden face 
To synthetic thoughts and lethal haste 
  
Mourning wails, likeness fails 
The image spins and wastes away 
Away from arms, so gaunt and frail 
To silent graves with living names
