The Game

Faith drives me to roll the dice
and move ahead a few.
Its a always been a game of chance
I battle on to get through.

Ponder my decisions 
What assets do I own
Study the board in depth  
Moving up to higher throne.

Everyone's so serious
Contemplating hard
Let's hear some laughter
Please let down your guard.

We all want control 
or at least small amount 
Its hard when we're all friends
Because we have to take account. 

Monopoly creates 
a world where we can dream
Even if its just a game
It allows us to let off steam.

(For Monopoly contest  by Kristen Bruni)
