Chapter 358

An Effective Strategy

There are many things we may seek
Very few of them we achieve
It seems that we give much more
Than we will ever receive

The game is rigged
We are predestined to lose
What we think is real
Is most often only a ruse

We can take the blows
Roll and sting from the hits
Why is trying to reach someone
Worse than surviving a blitz

When we think we have won
Maybe even gotten ahead
Suddenly it all falls apart
Making us wish we were dead

Life becomes a tragedy
Wrapped in a travesty
Knowing you are going to fail is not
An effective strategy

Nobody
