Life is like a game,
you roll the dice
and move yourself along.
Some players may have an unfair advantage
they may have been dealt
Better cards than you
Or maybe,
They cheat their way
Through the courses of life
cutting the corners
When you score a goal
You realize not everything
in life is fair
and you can’t always win.
But,
when you run across
the gleaming finish line
You experience
what life is about.
