Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Power Game

Long, long ago set up on Earth

The game board by powers that be,

Who were quite bored and sought some mirth,

So pieces of humankind, we

Be pushed and pulled that way and this.

Opposing powers promised of

Ending either despair or bliss,

Making choices with hate and love.

The game plays any time and place,

We players playing bad and good

To win and lose the human race,

However powers deem we should.

We human pawns o'er time to tell

Game winner 'tween heaven and hell.
