The Game Poem

The Game

By Kim

Roll the dice, flip the card

Take a turn, look serious

Back away, take the punishment

Cheating is more like it, but there’s always a bad outcome

Be sneaky and you win.

You play the game, you get in the game.

There’s only one goal, you want to win.

Winner? You feel so accomplished.

When you win, you smile and move-on

Or, like a hawk, you get more aggressive.

Greedy it is, aggressive you are, the more you want to win.

Why so aggressive and serious when it’s just a game?

Roll the dice again, flip it again

Take another turn, look stern as a stone

Back away or step a head

So, why take more risks and be more serious?

Can it be more glorious?

Play the appeasement game

Play the sneaky like a snake game

One mind, one goal, one set—to win.
Or, is it a sin?

Have the attitude, give the attitude

And pass it on

Play the joke like a joker

Win the game like a Queen or King

Or, simply be the rest of the numbers.

One game, one play, one result.

You play the game again like it’s a practice.

You have a goal like a game.
