Game People Play

watch out
no doudt
it can be a trap
some is a bad rap
so don't be a sap
to have a  better day
kept things away
don't fall for
GAMES PEOPLE PLAY


Bullying

Stupid 
Dumb 
You cant do that 
Can you?
Name calling 
Constant fear of others
Risen from the games people play 
Jokes people think a harmless

Karma

The games people play are dangerous indeed, 
To toy with emotions is a villainous breed. 
Karma's response will be vengeful eightfold, 
Those receiving it will not be so bold.

Cursed with so much love to give,
never seems to be enough;
Living feeling like a ghost,
black eyes slipping on black ice; 
Tired of the games people play,
Cursed with feeling way too much, 
maybe gone will be enough.

Nothingness

Nothing within
Nothing without
No place to turn
Nothing but doubt

Wish I was numb
Would finish dyeing inside
There's not much left
Just want somewhere to hide

Nothing behind
Nothing ahead
Hate to see the sun rise
Feeling nothing but dread

Can't do anything right
Wish it would all go away
I'm tired of life
All the games people play

Leave Me Be

Why is everything I do wrong?
Everything I say a crime?
Every mistake I make a big deal?
Why is my fun a waste of time?

How come this world seems to be against me?
All I stand for a lie
Motive is a mystery
Every tragedy makes me cry

I can't hope to understand 
All the games people play
Why can't they leave me alone?
I am just trying to get away

Your True Value and Identity

The organ that once played
Melodious music is now quiet
The altar, where once the faithful  
Flocked now stands empty
Priests have changed their roles
They referee and judge
The games people play
Dare not defy them!
Vain are such efforts!
Vain are their building projects!
Vain is their property business!
Your identity is in worship
Through worship, you will find
Your true value and identify!

Each numbered square gives a clue
 For a puzzle with words across and down
Find the words that fit within
 Select the wrong word
 And things will go awry
 Get all right and its a win!

 Two warriors enter the court
 Where a battle soon begins
 Their rackets smash the ball with force
 As they try to win their sets
 Win enough sets and the war is won

Political Power

Today's political agenda,
For political puppets--
Manipulated by the powers that be,
Hoping for a Lazarus economy,
Games people play,
Any miracles today?
Mystical revival,
Elections--farcical,
Candidates--comical,
Tweedledum?
Or Tweedledummer?
Yes, games people play,
Miracles on the agenda today?
Made any jobs today?
Not for the old, for the young,
Their careers not even begun.
Hoping for a Lazarus economy--
Who are the powers that be???????

Premium Member Hello

Hello
Do you hear me ?
Do you hear what I say ?
Do you understand my logic ?
Of how games people play
Do you ever wonder
Why people live and die ?
Have you ever helped the homeless ?
Or seen a child cry ?
Ever looked into sorrow
And seen emptiness
Have you looked into tomorrow
And cared less and less
I say this to you
And hope you will confess
To the feelings that I have
For people everywhere
And to say one simple thing..........
I care
