THE GAME AND THE FAME


...The Game Behind...

Some are fantastic:
player,
participant,
athlete

Others are passionate:
couch,
expectator,
audience

Few are supportive:
...watching the game
...commenting the strategy
...depending the failure

...The Game Really...

...card
The Ace and the Joker
but non of them has the reason to win

...board
The King and the Queen
but non of them has the ability to move

...ground
The Ball and the goal
but non of them has the power to excite

...'others'...
The cubes and the elements
but still all thick and damn

...The Game and The Fame...
I, may be the Ace or the Joker
but I am the card played by the gambler

I, may be the King or the Queen
but I am the “man” controlled by the master

I, may be the ball or the goal
but I am in the field tossed by the fate

I may be cube or the element
but I am only part of the great game
-the game neither “you” nor “I”
has the “rule to win”...just play it seems
my greatest game
