Playing game as training before waging war well <br />Kings, soldiers and all guys spent time in Chess! <br /> <br />As brave soldiers going to Mahabharata war then <br />All witness cricket players entering the field now! <br />Betting on cricket players go on outside the field <br />While spectators encouraging players as on arena! <br /> <br />Betting on horses in horse race after taking loan <br />There is no chance of knowing victory or defeat! <br />When game becomes serious after defeat both <br />Debtors and debtees have real fight to death now! <br /> <br />Same thing happened in Mahabharata epic too! <br />After dice game opponent became ruler ordering <br />Slaves spend 12 yrs. in forest and 1 yr. in incognito; <br />Then real war between Gauravas and Pandavas <br />Brought Lord Krishna to make dharma settle all! <br /> <br />If game becomes real act universal disaster is sure! <br />Games should foster friendship but not enmity ever; <br />Gambling should be banned for good of mankind sure!<br /><br />Ramesh T A<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/games-gambling-and-wars/
