JeRome R Simms

sometimes love and life is taken as a game
where some are players and some get played
when the truth is withheld and falsehood is displayed
often and most times in order to get laid

where some play for keeps
and some play to be cruel
and some play and then cheat
constantly changing the rules
some play for a win that’s cheap
they play in order to rule
they play in order to creep
and make others to be fools

nevertheless the game goes on
and what goes on stays the same
and if you're a part of playing love or life as a game
and get yourself hurt place no blame
and if you must hate be sure not to hate the player hate the game
for the players change but playing the game remains the same

very true

I think you missed a 't' in the last line.

Your rhyming flows fairly well and read aloud it goes pretty smoothly. I'd suggest you take a look at dealing with some of the 'and's too.
