The Love Game

By Lucius Gantt

Too many men and women in our communities believe they know what love is but they don't.

Don't act like you haven't been to the neighborhood juke joint after the clock strikes 10pm, and after you've enjoyed a few stiff drinks, everyone you see looks better at the midnight hour than they did earlier in the evening.

The liquor puts a smile on your face and your eyes connect with the woman or man you feel was sent to you by God himself.

You invite them to your home for a few more liquor shots, a couple of lines of stepped on cocaine and a blunt or two.

After enjoying oral sex with each other and exchanging fake grins, your heart tells you you're in love, but your mind tells you, you've been tricked!

When the night ends or day begins, you and your new love return to your spouses and significant others. You also create false narratives to explain to your spouses or significant others.

"He said he had a new house and a new car", so I gave him some. Or, "The cat was cute, fine, and "easy", so I hit it!

Brothers and sisters, connections that begin with lies will end with lies!

When cheaters get caught in fake narratives, they become ashamed and blame the honest person in the relation.

I cheated because he, or she, cheated on me. He showed me love but he wouldn't pay my bills. She wouldn't give me what I wanted when I needed her and that's why I chose to sleep with others.

Well, when you decided to have community sex organs that you love to share with anyone who buys you a cheap drink or smiles at you while dancing with a different sex partner, you put yourself in danger and you declare that your partner is not worthy of your protection.

STDs and STIs are nothing to play with. HIV and syphyllis are nothing to play with. If you enjoy polyamorous behaviors, sex cults, or neighborhood orgys, go for it, but leave your faithful partner out of it.

Everybody loves to play the quiet men and women. They're to nice, they're too kind, too weak and too dumb!

Well, if you don't truly know your designated hitter or "honey pot", you might FAFO and be in a world of trouble!

Some quiet men and women are very powerful. They can stop you in your tracks without lifting a finger or without saying a mumbling word.

If you think the grass is greener in everone's yard but yours, it may seem that way because good couples water their lawns while cheaters sprinkle water on lawns all over the neighborhood.

Now, it is not uusual for people to fall out of love just like they fall in love.

No, problem. Just tell the truth about your decision. When you lie to your sex supply, sometimes you forget which sex partner you told which lie to.

Can a cheater reconcile with a former partner? It all depends on how far the cheater chose to go with the infidelity. A sex mistake can be forgiven and forgotten, but planning to, plotting to, of hoping to kill someone who loved you and helpped you is devilish and demonic!

God gives everone free will. We all can love who we want. However, the lying and cheating version of your love life can have deadly consequences.

No doubt, it can be fun to hook up with a so-called better person but if you hook up with snakes, you might get snakebit!

When you walk away from a good man or women, keep walking and don't look back!

The winner of the love game won't respond, won't react, won't question, and won't explain.

Smart men and women know how to love themselves. If you can't love yourself, how can you truly love others?

To some, the love game can be mastered but you can't make the varsity when you're only good for someone's "B-team"!

Keep being truthful!
