Poetic-Verses
'' We Are Playing The Same Game ''
Times were different our elders say,
In our day we cared for each other,
Much less turmoil no need for affray,
The truth this does tend to smother.
Far less trouble they'd have you believe,
There was concern among the masses,
It was better to give than to receive,
Yes they had rose coloured glasses.
Injustice and cruelty have always been there,
It never has or will skip generations,
Kindness and caring let me make you aware,
Are what lay the strongest foundations.
We have all had our faults and we forever will,
Our very nature means contradiction,
For our future there's no miracle pill,
Conflict is a human addiction.
But so is caring and also forgiving,
The good will far outweigh the bad,
It's the ultimate reason we are still living,
For small mercies always be glad.
Faults are what make us as long as we learn,
Many inventions came from mistakes,
A mutual respect's what generations must earn,
That's crucial in our survival stakes.
A common bond we must try to detect,
In truth we are one and the same,
In order to survive we need to connect,
After all,
' We're Playing The Same Game '
