"what They Say and Play"

As many mind games cloud the way Every night and every day People not meaning what they say Theses be mind games humans play Saying, "Eat drink and be gay!" To abide golden rule is nay Areas of minds in the grey PERDITION piper shall require pay Birth rights being sold away Their serpents to and fro doth sway As good of many hearts, they spay Thus morality they do fray All twists of mind’s rules, they okay Be tares, not of Master’s__ bouquet! Honorable Mention

Good job, John. I like the use of tares, that's a word that should see some more print. The serpents line is good. The bouquet rhyme at the end is excellent. How about " perdition's piper.." Just a suggestion. Thanks to you and regards, Gerard.

mind games is how this world works.its crazy sometimes, the things we really do just to get someone, or something.some mind games are really worth it though, but those are the one's with the most meaning, and maybe in deeper ways as well. i hope you're well, Moses. -Always&Forever Lynette

Darn! This poem should have appeared in the second-place rankings, John. I don't know why it came up as an honorable mention. I think it's very well written and has a powerful message! Love, Carolyn
