Study Guide

Nathan Gilmore hit the news Was it his bloodline or did he choose STUDY GUIDE A life to kill, a life to die Was he trained or is it lies Propaganda still it reigns Still... it's there to fill our brains A poor man's game of solitaire A piece of fat from those who care When they’ve taken all but your last best Take all you won so they don’t forget But if you bet and do not win Acknowledge one day you will try again Don’t let pity still your gains You earned that gold, you won the game Friendly wagers are never lost But make sure you can cover cost Well fed, you look but can you play Or are you one with something to say I've but a moment or two to spare Please don’t stutter and don’t be scared Yes, to you, it's important though But if you don’t speak up, I must hurry and go Choose your words wisely, think before speak Ask me questions but please keep it brief The answers are foreign some call them trash So, ponder your choices before your question is asked.
