Games

by Sylvia   Nov 14, 2009


Adults playing a childish game of blame,
tit for tat, I'll get you back.
Grudges held, on a roll, revenge the goal,
step on a crack, continue the attack.

Grow up, stop the stupidity, practice validity.
Be unique, think before you speak,
wicked words that are flung with a forked tongue.
You're not weak if you turn the other cheek.

Positive Form "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Negative Form "Do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you."

    Love the word play with the old childrens games...I remember my sisters and I avoiding all the cracks ...LOL....but as we grow older...it is time to put up the childish ways. Sometimes saying nothing is the best solution.
    Good job!
    Love Cindy
