Not really named
Winners and losers jumbled together
Together for ever

Games have their ups and their downs
So does life, all though out the town

How long is the game
That isn’t really named
We don’t know,
Take a chance card

To do that I know is hard
Chance, good, bad, or indifferent

Like is a game
Not really named

Winner’s losers
Together, apart
The game chooses

I can just visualize all the greek gods sitting at a game table and moving us all around like pieces on a chess board. Must have a heck of a lot of chess boards! I hope your philosophy on life has changed by now or you are probably sitting in big disarray. Life is certainly not chance. It is the culmination of well thought out plans and actions. Hopefully furthering you in your designated goals.

This reminds me of a song verse

"Lifes a song
We don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse"

Good write...Don't burn your poems!!!!!!!

Love Dawny x

Life is a game indeed.. upon a chance we all will roll that dice.. if only life isn't so like Vegas where it is impossible to bet the house and as most often all we who dared to gamble upon those games in Vegas or in in life will find ourselves beaten, penniless and in respite. Like Della Reese sings it.. "ohh the games... that people play... you and you and you and me..." A quaint depiction of this game we call life... may you play to win.. bon chance! nice write!
