The Game

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The Game We play at life like a game, building up our strategy then taking our turn to move upon the board. Advantage shifts to and fro with each roll of the dice. Once begun, this game of life neither ceases nor pauses until its final, inevitable conclusion. In the end one will be the victor - unless a draw is declared. Stalemate or split decision meets with icy reception. There is but one way to end the game - but how does one keep score? We play the game to win, after all... don't we? It will be The Judge's decision whether we have won or lost - so let us concentrate on how we play the game. 11-20-2001 Written November 19th, 2001 © on Nov 20 2001 04:48 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 10
