The Game Of Life

It seems many are obsessed with games;
they come in all shapes and sizes;
the game of life; just one of its names;
they all wear many disguises.

Games, to some, become an obsession;
and life is pretty much the same;
failure in either; can lead to depression;
and luck; often gets the blame.

Games are usually a friendly competition;
but, beware; they’re all about winning;
life usually becomes a game of attrition;
and, has been; since the beginning.

Some view life as tho it were a game;
becoming a character; within it;
in essence, games and life are the same;
everyone plays; to win it.

Only life, consists of eternal consequence;
games are just played for fun;
both evolve into a game of dominance;
where only the victor has won.

Life could be considered a game of chance;
where all lay their chips on the table;
those with the most chips, lead in its dance;
while those without chips are unable.

If you think life is serious and not a game;
you, yourself, had better think twice;
to many, games are serious; and life the same;
both of them; finds us, rolling the dice.
