Played On Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People of a certain mentality,
Have a commonness with each other...
And they play games.

The more they believe they are in demand,
They do this...
And the game remains the same.

They make promises they never keep.
They wish to make others wait...
While they deceive another,
Who is not aware they cheat.
And doing this preserving an innocence believed.
As they juggle several relationships,
Until their spouses find this out...
And from them they leave!

People of a certain mentality,
Have a commonness with each other...
And they play games.

Stupid ones!
But they don't know they are played on them,
Everyday!
