Chaos

Everyone on earth is playing a game. We look for something to satisfy. Something to take away the pain. I call this game Chaos.

Welcome to the world of Chaos

Welcome to the ultimate game

Leave behind all your bias

Nothing shall ever be the same

 

There are two kingdoms, dark and light

In the day, you can begin to see

But you are blind and start in night

Now you decide who you must be

 

Chaos has but one objective

Find the treasure to win the game

Where is it? You need perspective

If the treasure is yours to claim.

 

Look around, look high and look low

You must search up, down, all around

It can be anywhere you go

For it is waiting to be found

 

Does this game sound familiar?

A game full of longing and strife?

Where nothing seems to get clearer?

It should ‘cause it’s the game of life.

Look around, look high and look low
You must search up, down, all around
It can be anywhere you go
For it is waiting to be found
this is very deep meaning poetry. Dark and light are two shades of life, but dark is more than happiness. Very deep eyes at this. love to read.

I appreciate the review! But I can't help but comment on it; I might agree with you that dark has more happiness if it wasn't for one thing. I've watched too many people getting destroyed by it. That's not the treasure. If you want a hint for what is, read my story Salvation.

What happens if I found the treasure I was seeking, does the game end just for me, or for everyone else around me as well?

[Mike Wolfe]

Very good question. In this poem I speak of the treasure. Think of life. We go through it and we are all looking for something that will give us satisfaction, that will make us happy. The thing we look to for our salvation, if you will. Find that and you win life. Some people say that it's money that satisfies. Others say popularity. Many believe that love is the answer. Some will toss in fame or talent. My question to them is, why do movie star, who have all of this, going to rehab, taking depression meds, and committing suicide? The answer is deeper. We aren't what we possess. The problem is within us. We seek for all these things to be the gods that save us from our own depression. So. Ask yourself. What is infinite in love? What has power beyond what we can ask or think? What can ease our suffering and help us through dark times in life? There is no person on earth that can do all that. So the answer comes from another source. Not physical, not mental, but spiritual. Ask yourself what is entity infinite and spiritual? Answer that and you've won chaos. The word I use to describe life. The answer to all this is God.

Makes me grin. I always thought that happiness is the answer. regardless of the source, whether it is god or other.

[Mike Wolfe]

Happiness is an indicator. Not necessarily the answer. Money doesn't make you happy, you only want more. Sexual love doesn't make you happy forever. Drugs and alcohol dull the pain for a while, nothing besides God can make you happy forever. They aren't the treasure that makes you win life. I won't pretend that it doesn't make you happy for a little while. But that pleasure doesn't last forever. God's does.
