If You Think Life Is a Game

If you think life is a game, You had better start playing by the Rules, As there are others waiting for a start in the game, If you are caught breaking the rules, And get taken out of the game. If you get taken out of the game, You should not be surprised when others who play by the rules, Get a chance to play alongside your family and friends who are still in the game. If you want to own up to your shame, for breaking the rules of the game, There may still be time to show you can follow the rules, And get back in the game, But if you continue to break the rules, You may get to have an early appointment with the inventor of the game, Who will decide whether you are wheat or chaff.

It just stuck in my mind how many people think and act as if life is a game. Funny what triggers a poem. Most of my poetry starts with just one key word or sentence. From there I just trust the rest will follow. have a great day Victor, David still in NZ
