Rotten Games and Gotten Strange

12/27/21 Did poorly or was doing just fine The outcome was negative or had a plus sign Always not just sometimes Being one of a kind Under the moonlight and sunshine When it took a turn for the worse or was sublime No longer getting brushed aside Seeking what it is that I must find On the frontlines Can't force it Or forfeit Held true or was horse Bought it or couldn't afford it Crystal clear or distorted Unavoidable or able to be thwarted Saw it coming from the crows nest Meanwhile, most think they know best As they struggle to clean up their own mess Very quick to protest In their ways they are so set For the greater good or due to greed it was commercialized All of this, I could not internalize Something still stirs inside It's tragic that humans and animals got burned alive Better be something you're sure about Or it'll have an unsuccessful turnout Close and far from any birdhouse So many rotten games It has gotten strange All about the profit gains Not any pocket change
