The only game in town

The only game in town                                                                                      

Side with the virtuous; battle the others.
Fight the good fight.

It’s all part of the game
and it’s the only game in town.

Shake your fist; speak truth to power.  
It’s all part of the game

and it’s the only game in town.
But when you see the game has you in its grasp,

when you see through it, when you give up on it,
when you want desperately out – turn away;

cease your resistance – and your participation. 
Turn to the only chance there is

(for you and humankind)
and in your deepest humility and helplessness,

surrender yourself to the one endeavor worth pursuing,
the one freedom, the one treasure worth the quest.

O child of God, this is the game
and it’s the only game in town.
