Wither the Zax

Another week passed
as the two stubborn Zax
continued to dig in
refusing to budge
from their intransigent positions

To these hyper creatures
of rock headed consistency
compromise is a four letter word

Days turned to weeks
while weeks bleed into years
as the pendulum of time
marches to it's steady
relentless beat

Life moved on 
without the steadfast pair
just as it is designed to do

Evolution of the species
eventually
left the poor zealots behind

Now virtually extinct
trench warfare prisoners
of tragically closed minds
