Gamble

I am born today
On the fringe of infamy
In the wake of tragedy
And I shall have my say
About your world.

I am born of peace
The melee is shattered
The womb is battered
And I take my lease 
On your world.

You hand me your shamble
You bid me God speed
You've planted the seed
And I'll take the gamble
In your world.

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/18/2021 8:57:00 PM I hear the voice of a young, can-do L. Milton Hawkins speaking here. I like the aggressiveness and willingness to take upo the challenge. Kudos for posting this, gw Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/18/2021 9:57:00 PM Thanks, G.W., but who is this "Hawkins?"

Quoth Theraven Date: 5/18/2021 7:48:00 AM L MILTON HANKINS, This gamble in a world shared from so long ago, never lost its luster in tone or time. -Richard Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/18/2021 9:06:00 AM That's so true, Richard. I thought about that when I was putting it on PS after all these years.
