"GAMES" was written as a response to "DEMONS."
GAMES
" You plant a demon seed, You raise a flower on fire..." - Bono
You speak of demons in whispers, draw pictures of the ones that lurk in the shadows of your dreams. You've found yourself running through the darkness towards a corner where the walls surrounding you guarantee safety.
If only, while sitting in the dark, you would raise your head and slide your fingers away from your eyes, the demons, which you so dreaded, would be gone.
The demons are not real. It was only a game, after all. It was only a game, without rules, without a purpose.
Check the closet, and underneath the bed. Pull open the curtains, breathe, and move on.
The games hang in the thick air, take over our senses, leave us with a feeling of misuse. The games teach lies about evil. The games are not real.
