The Games We Play

  
  Governments say, to get back to what we
 once was.
  
  And what's that?
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  The 
Games We Play  We have been through this over and over again
 throughout the history of this so called civilized
 Listen to people,world.
  
 I mean really listen.What are we looking for?
  
 So much of our everyday conversations areWhat are we trying to recover?
games. 
  It was the same back then as it is now.
 We play the game to get what we want, when 
we want it. Wars, rumors of wars, greed, crime, you know,
 the usual.
 We play and are taught the game from the 
time we are born 'till the day we die.  Peace, Happiness, Serenity?
  
 What is the game? Never really had that in this world.
  
 Why so many rules? So, if we as a human race, never had that,
 doesn't it stand to reason that's it not a Recovery
 So many ways to play.that we are looking for , But a Discovery?
  
 Just who makes up the rules as we go along? 
  
 What is this game we all play, and when are weDoesn't it stand to reason, that we can't recover
going to sit down long enough to shut up andsomething if we never had it in the first place?
listen? 
  
 Realizing that we have been playing at this game 
for so long that we have become the game . Â Â Â   2) To regain normal health, control or
 balance
 So then who are we really? 
  
Are we faint reflections of those that are around 
us?Again, look around you, we never really had
 normal health, control, or balance in this world. So
 Are we our own self being?again how can we as a world recover anything if
 we never had it?
 Or are we who others say we are? 
  
 Just who are we? 
  Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3) To win favorable judgment in a law
 Better yet,suit
  
 due to the game, In whose favor,
  
 I must ask, Ours? Theirs?
  
 Where are we going? Games, We all play them. Some better than
 others, yet, a game nevertheless
 What's the prize? 
   We always had wars, crime, murder, death
 A free trinket? 
  Never really had peace, happiness, or serenity
 A better life? 
  Never lost the one
 For whom? 
  Never had the other
 Are we really on the road to recovery? 
  So how can we recover what was never lost,
 Recovery of what? 
  and how can we regain what we never had?
 Let's take a moment and reflect on this word. 
  So then, who are we really?
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â   Recovery 
  Are we just a reflection of those that are
 around us?
  
1) To get back Are we our own self beings?
 2) To regain normal health control or balance 
  Whose rules do we play by?
 3) To win favorable judgment in a lawsuit 
  Better yet
  
  Where are we going, and are we really going
Ok, now we know what the word means, yet, Idown this road we wish to call recovery?
must interject a question on mans usage of this 
word in trying to make this a better place for us To many memories of yesterday
to live in. 
  To many wishful dreams of today
  
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  1) To get back = equals =
  
  To many nightmares to face tomorrow
To bet back what? 
 Just what was it that we seem to have lost? In the Game.
