Humphrey Haji Luvumbi Poet Free verse

House of Cards

I've been living in the house of cards
That I can almost know your move
Cause I've seen how the cards shuffle 
And how the games have been played 

I learnt all this while growing up in the house 
By age of seven, I could keep a straight face
And bluff while I had my face on
I had no room for being played 

I had a heart of aces,
A poker heart, a true art
That's why i was good at games
Cause I knew when to bend the rules 

I learnt the game then the players
That I should never up my hand
Cause that would only raise stakes on me
And only make it harder for me to win 

I learnt that I can't do it all alone
That's why at every table I sat
I made sure I made a friend
One that always has my back
