Just a Board Game

Three children on the floor
Playing a board game
They knew so well

One child comes wandering along
Inquisitive, he asks to join in
New to playing board games, he asks
What is the meaning of the game?
Who made the game?
Who sets the rules?
Why can’t I play it my way?
Why is it not fair?
What happens after we win?
Why do we want to win?
What happens when we lose?

The rest laughed
It’s just the rules of the game.

Just like life.
Don’t ask why.
