As always dear reader, buckle up and see my words take life in your mind. For it is my truth,these words.
I am taking it easy watching the sunset.
The little forest next to my place is alive and still at rest.
I am drawn inside and before my eye is a large group of people.
Everyone is shouting and showing off.
Laying their cards for all to see and desire.
To covet and even kill for!
Goodness me,
I love this game.
I have won in so many of them that I no longer play.
This time the players are different and tough.
They are,but I have a card none can stand up to!
“Welcome to the game of cards. Up first is him and him!”
By now we are 4 players. I step up the table and he steps up the other side.
He places his first, clever bastard!
“Power!”
The crowd roars!
The players nod and chuckle.
I play mine.
“Power”
The crowd roars louder.
They chant ‘Face off! Face off!’
“Face off it is! Punch!”
You know me.
I am quick and a marvel to watch.
He punches, I get hit.
I wipe it off, throw mine.
The guy died! From sight gone.
The crowd roars like mad devils!
I bathe in that glory.
Meet me at the finals,
Where I claim my prowess time and again!
