Cause and Effect

Game...life? Some would say so: up in the morning with a sprint-- my court or yours? dribble a few ideas, toss them toward the hoop-- my foul or yours depends on who choose the referees, who is keeping score, your stadium or your in-laws'. We build such huge amphitheaters, call ourselves Lions-- even Christians forget-- Cowboys and Indians-- what good is life without an opponent a foe? tell that to those in the Peace Corps, or those battling AIDS; what need for a God if not for a devil? God forgive our lack of love....
