Darker Games

See the children, all at play.
Little children learn that way.
Adults though are not the same
Adults play their darker games.
-
Crime's a game, mind games
Hide-and-seek high stakes
"Finders keepers losers weepers"
"I wasn't there I'm not to blame."
-
Look around and you will find
A truth that you cannot deny.
Power, glory, fortune, fame,
Adults play their darker games.
-
War's a game, power games
Play for keeps and kill for gain
"Jack fell down and broke his crown"
"This land is mine you have no claim."
-
Look around and you will find
A bitter truth you can't deny.
Sex and power, gold and fame,
Adults play their darker games.
-
Little children learn through play.
Adults cannot learn this way.
Hate and fear and death remain
And still they play their darker games.

Penned by my hand on the 25th of Mayan, in the year 526 AF.
