ON THE TABLE THE CARDS DECIDE

The stalemate on the table
The players stare at each other
The silence in the room
The supporters eyeing each other
What now?

The high stake poker game
The players know the fame
Whoever wins?
The riches and power came

The juggling of time
The moment of truth must arrive
The cards on the table
Only one card separates the winner and loser
Who will he be?

The forces within
The truth will be known
Only this time one card decides
The fall of a regime

Simple, clean, gentleman
No arms rising; no nothing to defend
On the table the card decides
The winner takes it all

The susurrus wind
The air-condition units barking
Cracking into the silence
As the players stare
Into each other moves
On the table the card decides
