Fun and Games

4:FUN AND GAMES
Fun and games How did that work out? Seems now it’s guns and fame To be part of the mob, Or a lone ranger Clutterbuck or clusterfuck The disgrace of God Thanking Him for protection and guidance?

In a hate-fueled fug and calling names Madmen let loose with rifles and guns Fear in your hearts as young upstarts Armed to the teeth, cocky and loaded The power of the bullet, not the word power of the bully, nervous finger on the trigger Squeeze it and become a public figure Wastrels playing at the gates of hell Fun and games of thrones and war Our jaws clench as we all wait for more Some reaching out to God now asking for mercy Well good luck with that too And so we lose the game But wasn’t losing just part of the fun and games before?
