LIFE – THE ULTIMATE GAME [a poem]

Life is the ultimate game we play
Where everyone becomes a prey
Because we do not know the rules
Or the aim of this game for fools

While we are here, we are forced to play
To swim or drown, each in his own way  
Where everyone gets a chance for progress
To experience and to work for success

Or to fall down to the lowest depth                                           
Of misery and ultimate death
Of the soul and spirit through lack of love
And not understanding the rules from above

In this game there is no right or wrong
They are the instruments that play along
While we triumph over materialism and greed
And lend a helping hand to those in need

These rules exert penalties when broken by man 
And to learn through trial and error is the plan
To force man to obedience through realisation
While mastering the game, and gaining liberation

Through suffering we learn the rules of this game
While the development of consciousness is its aim
We must learn to master and adept the rules
Only then will we no longer be fools

If you are not worried about glamor and fame
There is a short cut to become master of this game
Let the Masters show you how to use your tools
Then plan your own game according to the rules

We must move from players of this game
To becoming observers of this game
For this experiences and lessons of life
Are all we take with us from our strife 

Thus by conquering the rules, we master this game
And with no more rules to absorb, it is the end of this game
We have moved from man to soul by playing this game
Now we must move from soul to spirit via another game
