A dear friend of mine once said with a whim,
Ain't nothin' like folks except more of them
The older I get the more this seems true ,
You just never know what some folks will do!

As long as the game of life goes their way,
They'll do all they can to get you to play-
For some folks, you see, must be in control,
To rule their circle of life is their goal!

Of course, this may seem to work for awhile,
And when you adhere it brings them a smile-
But later as time unfolds and you tire
Of being controlled, you're then in the fire!

The rulers begin to change their appeal,
So there thru the farce you see what is real-
From ruling to ruin so swift turns the tide,
It suddenly seems no one's on your side!

Just live in the now and always beware,
Folks may let you down but God is still there
Your game of life can be won if you're true ,
Allow only God to lord over you!
