Games

Before

It was  us who changed the games

United

Herbivores became hunters

Chess became friendly families

Children fought real battles

Snakes climbed up the ladders

And all the time

Locked in a tightness

Frankness

And left alone

Now

You are playing new games

And I am laughed at, alone

Underestimated

Walking away

Lying below the lies

Erasing the lines

Stronger than before

Watching my chess pawns

Move the battle closer,

On more solitary terms.
