The Game
By Don Iannone

If we are not careful
...life turns into a game
...at times
...with unexpected consequences.
If we are not careful
...the games we play
...mistakenly
...turn into our lives.
If we are not careful
...gamesmanship replaces sincerity
...and the score
...becomes more important
...than kindness and compassion.
Let's not play life.
