Game



tricks do not work at all the times
and  a foul game does not last long,there is an end
when falsehood cements from exterior in disguise,
each one falls from within
and before one finds a suitable exit or no exit at all
the game proceeds on
let the unwise  act on with all the rubrics that
could be explained
--not too earlier.
