The Hanged Man


Doomed. It is not an idea we embrace too much, but if you saw the Bills / Patriots game, and you have been a Buffalo Bills fan far too long to shrug it off, then you know what I mean.
Doomed When it is fate and it is fucked.
But it isn't justice because you don't have any particular idea that hubris was at work. It might be karma of course, but since it is collective, and the collective karma is visited upon a group of individuals who just got there, then justice is a stretch.
Doomed, and the Bills most certainly are, then so it is, but the Bills are nothing but a collection of innocents who receive their beating, and then move on.
Doomed And isn't all human effort essentially the same.
Doomed The wall against which the head is beaten, the savage god, who declares that as it has always been, the strong and the ruthless will thrive.

If this keeps up, I am going to give up these boyish tendencies for good.
