The Game

The game is rigged (for most of us, anyway) It’s a set up since the first day it’s been played It’s not a race , even though it seems like one There are no opponents, just fools thinking there’s something to gain There is no thrill, just the idea of one Any strategy used has been a waste of time Find comfort in whatever way you can Build friendship(s) and relationship(s) with those worth building those with Do something you love, but make sure you know of the rules No one knows how this game started, but treat it as if you already won No, really, treat it as if you already won

Welcome to the Soup, Charles! An interesting write, certainly a beard tugger (no offense:), or perhaps a hair yanker? The power and energy of positive thought, the "I am", that leaves no time nor space for any maybe. I like that!! Anyhow enjoy the Soup, it has assorted flavors to appease most taste buds. Have fun, enjoy, and keep well, Mikki
