On Games
Mile Marker MCCXXXVII
Villanelle Verse
Sunrise continues the games people play,
under construction an answer to why.
Turn the same circle repeating each day.
Scheming for power with every word say,
deserve a larger portion of the pie.
Sunrise continues the games people play.
Never consider an alternate way,
living illusion believing the lie.
Turn the same circle repeating each day.
Temptation leading weaknesses astray,
finding a brighter star in the night sky.
Sunrise continues the games people play.
Successive failures in poverty pray,
in pieces on the ground lonely hearts cry.
Turn the same circle repeating each day.
Question the purpose designing the clay,
time is the enemy answering why.
Sunrise beginning the games people play,
turn the same circle repeating each day.
