Games To Entertain Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Games to entertain...
To numb the pain,
And, with an effect...
That accepted addictions,
Go undetected.
Games to entertain,
Softens that which is being changed.
Games to entertain...
Makes useless the using of a brain.

People are crossing off their losses.
And values once obtained.
People more thoughtless pay the cost.
But believe they've made some gains.
People are crossing off their losses.
And values once obtained.
People more thoughtless pay the cost.
But believe they've made some gains.

Games to entertain,
People who are crossing off their losses.
Games to entertain,
People who are thoughtless paying the cost.
Games to entertain,
To numb the pain.
People are crossing off their losses.
And values once obtained.
People more thoughtless pay the cost.
But believe they've made some gains.

Games to entertain,
People who are crossing off their losses.
Games to entertain,
People who are thoughtless paying the cost...
For games to entertain,
Those people who are crossing off their losses.
For games to entertain,
People who are thoughtless paying the cost.

Games to entertain...
Makes useless the using of a brain.
Games to entertain...
Makes it useless,
The brain.
Games to entertain...
Makes useless the using of a brain.
Games to entertain...
Makes it useless,
The brain.
Just makes it useless.
The brain.
A brain gamed to entertain.
