Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition
Guns blazing what’s there to lose?
Everything or nothing?
They say there's only one.
But there's an angel perched above,
Its eyes lost in a search for what it thought it had.
It lost everything and nothing.
The tables are turned.
What’s there to own?
What’s there to lose?
It’s a mystery that refuses to be solved.
Goldilocks in a tumble.
So much wrong.
So much right.
The answer that will never come.
So from suspense we will hang.
Dangling from a cliff.
What’s there to lose?
Nothing and everything,
Everything and Nothing
