When the game is over
No need to look around
Winners are dancing
Losers crying on the ground
Just part of the process
Could be other way around
Some trade good for evil
Doesn’t matter the call
Expediency is the issue
No thought about the fall
Claims are made with boldness
The prophet has doubts
Has been here before
Seen many bouts
Issues are misconstrued 
Partly truth, mostly fiction
Twisted by the picker
Players walk into a wall
Rearranged by the preacher
Change the rules is the call
Confusion becomes a method
Contradiction an asset
Run home 
Find rest in your bed
Then comes tomorrow
Can’t remember what was said
A story’s needed and made up
This becomes the truth, but
It keeps on changing
Maybe better, maybe worse
The outcome will happen
Time will assist fate
There will be twists and turns
You just stand in wonder
Corruption of your concerns
Now another road is taken
No twists and no bends
You already know the story
This is where it ends

The simple life
We all strive for
Cannot be called simple
If we ignore the 
Brothers and sisters
Needing our help

Go live in nature
In a 10 X 15 foot hut
And try to answer
To anyone but yourself
You make a good case
For peace with nature

But what does it mean
With a world collapsing 
About you – peaceful existence
Living off of nature
But fails in our assignment
To be of service to each other

I visualize the parade
With the band and majorettes 
Music is powerful
But what about our deeds
We must reach out 
To those in need

Serve them beyond
Their expectations
We inspire them –
Those in need and
They adjust their greed
Get involved in life
Keep it simple too

Only then will the
Simple life be true
