Games

I had started off with solemn intentions of doing some serious thinking for my project (Designing a board game) but ended up with this instead.

Games

Paper cards and plastic pegs
Rules in a book on our crossed legs
Money without value
Victory without pride
Oh the games we play
What are they?

Fragile hearts and precious time
Priceless moments spent for a dime
Apologies overdue
Love cast aside
Oh the games we play
What are they...

Sly wisdom and hungry power
Lives we squandered, years devoured
A life of residue
Hands tied
Oh the games we play
What are they!

Eyelids are heavy
Corners of our lips, heavier
The games never stop
You're always a player
