It Is Difficult To Know What It Is

It is difficult to know what it is
Perhaps it is a billiard table
With a myriad of billiard balls
Each one knocking on the other

Perhaps it is not a billiard table
Because there are rational lives
Acting through irrational faculties
To take over the contested table

With myriads of billiard balls rolling
Knocking and kicking each hour
What do you expect but brutal life?
Sure it is difficult to know what it is

Call it this world of political billiards
The life you live is life given at costs
