The game of life

how a cricket match mirrors life

They say life is a game

which one must play

But does it have a name

which one could say?

There are rules

and then there are regulations

But such are only fools

who believe in speculations

How must one participate

in this game of life

To open the gate

and stand on the knife

It lies in knowing

who you really are

And then bowing

to the Almighty's power

We think and make a plan

to later execute

And think we outran

to make a big loot

Uncertainties exist

and make us stronger

But what if they persist

and make us feel longer

It is such times where

we derive a power

which lies just there

where we are like a flower

After all its only a game

to be lost or won

And the secret lies in the gain

that comes after its done.

After all, we gained and maybe we passed
With our good deeds maybe committed a sin
But in the end I took part in this game,
Fair and square by the rules I played,
How can I answer the question, "Did I win?
And what mark will be given to my name?"

:) Its a great poem - I was a little inspired :)
Though life is occasionally compared to a game, when reading this it feels like a new idea. I had the image of Jurassic Park while reading. That was an awesome board game that traveled world boundaries. How do you feel about that idea?

Hi Arwa !
TY for your review :)

And yes..life can mean any game to us. You have compared it to the jurassic park board game whereas others might compare it to a more outdoor or rough game. It all depends on perceptions of the magic called life. Afterall, i think it is the perspective more than preparation which matters in life !

OH ya...gr8 follow up to the poem !! :)
