Games People Play

O’ what games these people play,

Though they are made up of clay,

They rule the earth so they portray,

They are ready to fight and kill and slay,

For tenets that their ancestors lay,

Without realizing they have gone astray,

You are friend or foe, say ‘yes’ say ‘nay’,

Doing this they feel terrorism is at bay,

But a greater threat faces them each day,

For they believe that if you can you may,

While the sun is shining for sure make hay,

Some global warming the wise men say,

Is causing all this change and decay,

And snowfall in the month of may,

Is dear Mother Earth’s subtle way,

To tell us that she is in dismay,

Reduced Carbon emissions the scientists say,

Could give us some time and hope’s ray,

Or else our children would have to pay,

For the damage we are causing to earth today,

And for sure they would curse us and say,

O’ what games did those people play.
