It’s a game of choices
Play first
And know the rules
In the end.
Choose
Either.
The stifling haven of relations
The bracing awe of solitude
The lively clamour of man’s world
The deadly silence within days and nights
The hideous truth of one’s own self
The pretty lies of others
The trance of love-hearts deceiving minds
The sanity of conventions- where only minds reign
Death in the world of bodies
Life in the world of souls
Choose yourself
Take all the peans and raps
Let others choose
Get a few names to blame
And
When the game ends, tiring you to death
and you want to know if you’ve won or lost
Then you know
There’s no rule for this game.
And that
Careful choosers don’t always win.
