There was a time I used to care
A time when I thought life was fair
I thought we all played by the rules
And then I realized we were fools
The rulebook really is a joke
A hall of mirrors, cue the smoke
If you really do wish to succeed
To my words you must pay heed
Trust me when I say it’s true
Screw unto others ‘fore they screw you

Your poetic lamentation on the realities of life certainly has a dark humor to it!
It’s like a wry commentary on the game of life, where sometimes the rules seem more like suggestions and the players aren’t always playing fair.
Keep that sharp wit handy as you navigate through the maze of existence!
👍👍👍
Your poem Kevin captures a powerful evolution of perspective, from innocence to insight. The way you craft each line draws readers into a journey of self-discovery and resilience. Your ability to blend introspection with a touch of cynicism creates a poignant narrative that resonates deeply. Keep weaving your words; they hold an undeniable potency.
Ha! I thought another Diamond story, Aha! here’s a very relatable poetry.
You’re very inspiring – Kevin.
