Monopoly
Complimentary ticket
you know,
the one where you pass go and collect.
What is it you really recieve,
can you win the game just passing by?
Does an owner of a lonely heart count,
as real estate to hang your hat on
maybe even charge rent
from time to time?
Can you deposit a check
that's laced with fools gold
penned with good intentions
yet, void of dreams?
A game of life, per chance
fits the bill
there can only be one winner
everyone else loses it all,
bankrupt.
Good thing you can start over
play it again
but can you ever truly recover,
when you've lost it all
on a roll of the die?
