third place

you hear it said
that we are all winners.
not true.
there is second place 
and last place.
and all the other places
in between.
there are those not even
picked to play 
the game.
but it sounds good,
it gives the losing heart
hope.
it keeps one going to
hear falsely
that yes we all will
get the gold ring.
wear the banner, stand
tall as a winner
at the end of the day.
