Play Haiku (Haiku 533 - 537)

When I was a child
I liked to play the game "Peace"
but my friends liked "war"

Hey won't you play a
somebody done somebody
wrong song, Neil once sang

"You play ball with me
then I'll play ball with you too,"
a teacher once said

Some recreation,
without a concrete purpose...
Don't you want to play?

Don't play the game best
play it like no-one else plays
that's the way you win

    You've done a good variety of haiku for the prompt.

    I often say 'It's a cruel world out there', when thinking of kids struggling to adjust to the ways of the world.
    It is so hard to hold on to innocence...
    You have described it profoundly.

    My take on the prompt - Perfection plays...
