Is It A Game?


Well, is it! Is it a game?
Tell me for I have no clue!
As to why people are so wicked!
In things they say and do!
Cat and mouse is the name of the game,
And fear beyond all else instilled,
Wondering if this was the day,
You could be beaten and killed!

Harsh of me to say do you think?
Over exaggerating – blowing it out of control,
No, not at all, because you see!
Fear was their goal!
They were not in the least bit bothered,
In fact, they thought it fun!
To scare a female out of her wits,
A female who couldn't run!

So she approached a stranger and asked…
Pretend he was a friend and so help her,
But he didn't, he did nothing,
No help forthcoming, did he care?
And they followed her to where she escaped,
And her fear increased even more,
And still this man did nothing to help,
Why?  He could have done more!

But he shifted about and made a comment,
So flippant so the blokes could hear,
And in that sentence he let them know,
Just how deep was her fear!
Help? Did he help her out!
NO!  He did nothing you see!
Why?  Was he afraid of reprisals?
That he just backed off and left her be!

…I Guess So…

Why Else Leave Me Stranded!
