Bad Game
Ronald Woods 1965 (Los Angeles)
Time is what we all share.
Pain makes our feelings real.
Both travel with us throughout life.
Yet only Time will help pain heal.
Trust is earned and not given.
Growing integrity within.
In a constant race with time.
Unsure which will win.
Everyone we meet.
We choose what we display
Hoping and testing all.
To reveal the come up games they play.
We open up our selves.
To ones not playing games
Misjudging can make you hang your head
Yet only gamers should feel shame.
By Ronald Woods
About this poem
A game people call a come up. When loser theives take advantage of someone to take what they have.
