Marilyn Stevens Poet I do not know?

The Game

I believe in freedom
I believe in love
I believe in all things
Sent from up above

I don't believe in hatred
I don't believe in pain
I don't believe that's it's ok
To play a deadly game

Then they get the knives out
And cut you to the core
While all the sadists
Just laugh and beg for more

What can you do
In a world that's lost it's mind
Why does no-one ever say
Let's try being kind. 

The answer must surely be
Corruption and deception
It would take a miracle
To free me from rejection. 

They stand to make a fortune
From my demise
This is what I've got
For being worldly wise. 

The time is coming
They'll be knocking at my door
Then I won't be able 
To help you any more. 

So I say 
May God help you all
Be warned of false prophets
And break down the wall.

Heather Crismond June 28, 2020 at 4:19 PM That sums up exactly what's been going through my head lately. "Be warned of false prophets " "And break down the wall" So hard to figure out the false prophets when there's a wall blocking your view. It's such a time of chaos thank you for your well written poem and remember life is always beautiful sometimes it's just harder to find :)
