Playing the Game?

There’s a reason
People should play fair
But..........
For the most part,
they don't care

By the book or
Buy the book
Either way
People cook the books

A sense of morality
and civilized rules
What are we talking about
Everyone is fooled.

Relationships are games
without a doubt
And it's fun to play
Until the clock runs out

When it's finally over
And the dust clears
Dodge the goal post on the ground
Nobody cheers

Can I avoid the riots
Or should I escape
The collapsing bleachers
Inevitable destruction in the wake?
