They Have Changed The Rules Of The Game....

if you, by their own
made rules, become the lead of
this boat race,
surely, they will begin to
think,
it will be ugly to hear
what can the world say?
they cannot accept
that honor that you
should have
deserved,
and so they change the rules
and they will say
you've made it
as one of the links
but you cannot be
first, for that would be a shame,
and they cannot
like a poisonous bait
swallow it.
