Play

Play is everything
Play we want
Play is what we forget
Play if you won't accept
If then
We've been played

Excellent on many levels. Empathic and intelligent.

Play is fun until a person feels they have been played. A trait all too common Mauricio. Sadly it happens all the time. Have a great Sunday.

our society is filled with those who have played and those who have, unfortunately, been played.

I've picked up on the 'being played' comment
That has now turned into a profession for an endless number of sleezebags

all work and no play is a recipe for burnout .. I like your play on the word play Mauricio :)

I think what you're trying to say is that we work too hard and don't play enough; we can have so much joy in our lives, but we don't grasp it....play can have lots of meanings including sensual play.... but i look at it more broadly and that is if we don't take advantage of it, "we've been played"
...which means we lost....I enjoyed reading this.
