Life is like a Monopoly

Look around, and what do you see? 

Everyone is playing with technology. 

Before bed, nothing is said, all but an iPad to play in bed. 

Oh Romeo, Romeo, where shalt thou be?

No more Shakespeare in history. 

Life is a game, but there is no shame. 

I looked around to what so I see? 

Everyone who was always there for me. 

I took advantage for what I had,

Oh boy, did that make my mother sad. 

Some may say "I don't have it all!" 

But can't you see, that was your biggest flaw. 

I've read books that made me sad, 

Only to realize, our generation has gone bad. 

They ask me what I want to be, 

Sorry I cannot answer, because I cannot see. 

Society blinded me with all that's near, 

Sorry mom and dad I could not hear. 

I know we don't have much in common,

Don't be ashamed when I tell you we've all played the same game. 

Remember the rules of Monopoly?

Don't forget to check that to reality.
