The Most Dangerous Game
The Most Dangerous Game humanity ever played was trying to understand itself
The greatest threat they ever faced was the concept of wealth
Chasing a definition they never fully understood
Speaking with words, never meant to be good
This game they created, grew and became its own being
Humanity chose to ignore it, downplaying what they were seeing
Calling it revolution or rather evolution
Smiling as they hide and covet their illusion
But somewhere behind this veil of hunter and hunted
A dark monster crept into cracks, yet none wanted to see it
It grasped at the backs of humans left alone
It looked at the beauty of all the concepts that were thrown
Left, right up and down
All the concepts of humanity were thrown around
Now only the whispers of what used to be, linger
And the cracks became a space, constantly growing bigger
Over and over, the dark monster grew along
But humanity never once thought it would become this strong
The most dangerous game humans ever played was ignoring that space
The most dangerous game humans ever ignored was those trying to fill the space
You can see this dark monster extend his grasp on man, woman and child
You can now seen this dark monster in all its elegance, where it used to be wild
With time, the most dangerous game became a part of society
Fighting the dark monster became a thing of beauty
The most dangerous game we ever played was not realizing the strength of boredom
The most dangerous game we have ever seen is our struggle against boredom
Not understanding ourselves leaves room for boring
Getting to know yourself is the scariest thing for most, because the first stage requires a level of boring
And people would rather lose themselves in the noise of fighting boredom and the pain it brings forth
Then be alone by themselves, be alone with nothing but their own thoughts
Humanity is clearly losing The Most Dangerous Game ever played

I firmly believe that most people do nothing more than fight boredom as they go through life. This has become the core for most people as they go through their day to day. Some people are lucky enough to find what makes them fight their boredom. But some people lose themselves in the possibility of boredom and go to the extreme to fight it. Being left alone to fight your own boredom, is one heck of a thing. But yeah, I do believe that most of this is due to that space created in between activities. And people still found a concrete way to fill that, and that is why technology is able to replace most of that space with its new gadgets.
