Best Playing The Game Poems
'I want you to use all your powers and your skills
I don’t want his mother to see him like this
Look, look how they massacred my boy'...
Don Corleone (Marlon Brando) in “The Godfather”

Playing the game. It's a game isn't it?
Life is but a game, but a dream isn't it?
I drove home by that road many, many times,
that very same short-cut country road that you took
that road where our lives crashed, exploded and shattered
shattered in jagged shards of Silver-Saturn pieces
(This is where you must have seen the swerving headlights
What were your thoughts? Were you worried? Were you alarmed?
This is the spot, oh God this is where, where it all hap...
What were your LAST thoughts? What were your last words
when that pick-up jumped, jumped and flew out of that ditch?
You always said "WHAT THE"...Yeah, you must have said that)
Driving myself to madness playing the 'what if' game
What if you had driven just a little faster?
A little slower? Stopped to pick up something?
DIDN'T stop to pick up something? (Did-didn't-did...)
Stayed at work a minute longer, or left a minute early?
(What-if-what-if what-if-why-where-what-how)
Just what are the odds? Just what are the chances?
2:AM? Maybe one car, one car every 2 hours or so?
If it were a head-on collision, you may have survived
If on the rear side, perhaps only a violent spin
But no, no it had to be on the driver’s side door
It was 'perfect timing, a 'perfect' flash in time
(Perfect-imperfect-perfect-why-where-what-when)
I drove home by that same road many, many times,
that very same short-cut country road that you took
that country road you were driving; innocently driving
just trying to get back home...
Yes, playing the game. It's a game isn't it?
Life is but a game, but a dream isn't it?
ISN'T it.
Playing the Game, The Early Years
For Hillary (Clinton) and Vlad The Impaler
AKA Putin
In the early years, they were together so much
I thought they were sh*gging
Perhaps Hillary thought her day had come
And it was she who could now do the bragging
“Bill you’re an amateur, a pussy, a jerk
I told you your arrangement with that cheap intern wouldn’t work
But look at me now no pearls, short hair and a power suit
By the way Vlad, he says you’re a total fruit”
“You’re old and tired and you have white hair
But I go to the Kremlin
To f*ck the Emperor of Russia in the bare
He even buys me expensive underwear”
But in the world of Putin nothing is what is seems
We will never really know what is going on until he leaves
But why did she make him seem all shiny, legitimate and new
Because Hillary has helped Putin to f*ck both her and all of us too.
Cheers Hil....
PLAYING THE GAME Of POKER
At the table,
the dealer begins the game,
passing out set number of cards,
players ready to exhibit mental acuity.
A full house of masterminds,
getting familiar with the cards,
playing different variations of the game.
everyone with a target.
We fold, check, call or raise,
strategizing on how to topple the other,
straight, stud, draw or community,
mostly, same rule applies.
The game of poker,
quite similar to life.
simple,yet complex!
requires a lot of maths and psychology.
It's a bet, full of trials and errors.
Some rely on their tenacity and courage,
their adroitness and tactics,
for maximum result.
Some compromise it all,
yet, no aroma of fresh fruits.
some run out of chips, even before they get a chance to play.
We all are players,
playing the mean game of poker,
round the clock,
with dexterous manoeuvre.
The difference is,
some have mastered the soft skills,
and have become connoisseurs of the game.
while some are still baking in the oven.
In this game of life,
sometimes we win,
sometimes we lose.
we all bet,we all play.
We all need assistance from time to time,
As we contribute to life at some time of day.
Our lives are besieged by drugs and crime,
And with adverse opinions others oft sway.
But this is not a time for relaxing our guard,
Or to be ambushed and become apathetic.
A peaceful solution will forever be hard,
Unless heart felt and not merely cosmetic.
Our world is filled with dissent and strife,
And daily, storms become harder to weather.
To survive and continue in this spirited life,
It's crucial that we learn to work together.
God says man's righteousness is as filthy rags,*
But as days are passing some scarcely look.
Thereby failing to recognize His warning flags,
We're one page nearer the end of our book.
Isaiah 64:6 K J V
I worried about his bruised ego,
Hurting for him as all mothers do.
Until words he said then
Seldom uttered by men,
"Mom, the other side likes to win too."
won hm
Staring ahead with a pining and passion
Content that soon my switch on it will be
Letting you do as you will beforehand
Alternating positions your act ends
Balls displaced needing new orientation
The moment comes triumph is at hand
Gradually I ease into position pausing
Casually adjusting my body inward
Intensity cultivating with each gesture
Caressing the implement in my hands
Drawing back and forth easily directing
Pacing myself aware of the significance
Instantly the junction appears in view
Pressing onward with naturalness at first
Then drawing position after a near touch
Teasing the target building anticipation
Purpose to exploit one intense object
Concentrating my aim is always accurate
Thrusting forward targeting the full impact
Slowly making sure that its accuracy true
It thrusts forward with zest and excitement
Closer, deeper towards its complete approval
Desiring the intensity, then the full climax
Definitely victorious, objective being grasped
Descending into the cup with an aspiration
Deed completed anew it must be performed
Peek a Boo, I need u!!
I wonder..
In time, Will u need me?
For now
I'll hold on to my vision of us
And not just what I see
I feel my heart holds the truth
But my eyes have no belief and doesn't agree
Cause with Peek a Boo luv
The out come holds no guarantee....
So peek a boo when I do see u!!!
Be ready!!!
Cause I would only want to see the truth.
As we pour out our souls in front of eachothers eyes...
Standing bare striped of all previous lies...
Suprise......
"Peek a Boo"
I've seen you through... There's no more need to Peek my Boo!!!
My Heart see's and expects all of you!!!!
..............GAME OVA..............
It comes with no intructions.
You make up your own rules.
That means you must take all the blame
when acting like such fools.
You always have a choice
in everything you do.
Your decisions are rewarded
by what comes back to you.
They say karma can be scary.
It doesn't have to be.
If all you give is kindness,
that's all you're going to see.
Life is one big challenge.
Just roll with every punch.
I have faith that you can do it...
let's just say 'I have a hunch'.
PLAYING THE GAME
He leans back, his hand hidden from view.
far back in a cocky sort of way.
A player spies a young woman, innocently, walking by,
decides to change the fortune of his competitor.
The young woman turns red, as he shouts,
“Do you want to make love?”
The competition falls behind
His four aces, take a dive.
He feels the wind and the knots.
Reeling, he’s lost his shot.
“Sorry man, let’s do this again someday”
He chuckles and walks
away with his earnings,
Asks the girl out.
“Perhaps, someday,” she says
and walks away in that flirty kind of way.

The donkey brays;
the elephant trumpets,
and the herds remain unprotected
from the wolves and the jackals.
What game shall we play;
pin the tail on the Donkey
or Elephants can't remember?
It's a barrel of monkeys
playing let's sink the battleships
while wearing blindfolds all around.
You want to play games,
Lets play then,
How many people have you used,
And it hurt them to,
Soon your time will come,
Then we will see,
Who will get played,
I won't judge you,
Just give you a taste,
of your own medecine,
How about growing up,
Anytime at all today,
You must not have feelings,
Or a heart,
To act as if you can rip someone apart,
You don't have to be here,
For what comes along,
But it's my given right,
If I want to mess you up,
I'm doing my part,
Taking care of my own,
Your the one,
Missing out,
On what is to come,
Just walk away,
As if it's no big deal,
But it's all good,
I'm just keeping it real,
One day my child,
Will find out for themselves,
How worthless and useless,
You really are,
Keep your money,
I'm doing just fine,
Use it for another woman,
You can play with her all the time,
I'm tired of your lies,
And your pathetic self,
It's time for me to move on,
And get me a sophisticated man,
Upper class,
Maybe some don't care,
What you do to them,
But i'm a totally different chick,
That you won't ever come close to again,
As I say,
Enjoy your life,
Live it how you want to,
For someone else,
To see what you have done....
Tottenham had no spine today
Often blitzed, without apparent apparel
Maybe too many stogie's behind the training shed
Figures of lampoon
How they fail
in the April of decline
Captain said the performance
was not good enough
The Cockerel has relented to Play
There's no vitality going forward
and the back four, butter by default
Clear on what to expect
Everyone agrees on the rules up front
No one will get hurt

There is a game we all must play
Without the slightest hope of winning.
It doesn't cease at end of day,
From start to end, it's one long inning.
The game observes no rules, no guidelines,
Though there well may be a master plan,
Much like a game of "Cat and Mouse",
Or "Tag", or maybe "Catch Me If You Can".
No one gets benched or sits on sidelines,
Though only two at once can play.
One side's the cat and one the mouse;
Death is the hunter, we the prey.
The odds are badly stacked against us,
And there's no way to hedge the bet,
But we play with firm determination,
One shot at life is all we get.
There is no coach, there is no scoreboard,
No victory party to attend.
No one can tell the game's duration,
But all too well how it will end.
Playing the game of life
I question my mood
The pensive thoughts don’t dare
But I crept into your window
I whispered your name
Felt your soft skin
When did you grow so cold?
When did you leave me?
I thought you were always here
But I was wrong
