Exams

It's a game of odds and chance
it's a game paralleled on different levels
a game of determination, seeking ambitions
a game in the name of fame and shame
played at the expense of gambling
pay the cost of what you have not
and the price of what you have lost
It's a game not in the dark but in the shadows
think not for once the shades be hollow
it takes the soul in you to see it through
the pride in you to raise up hope
it asks more than you can cope
and it gives what you can't take
so you are always at stake....
