Ronny Madonsela Poet Rhyme

I Just Can'T Win

The dice always lands on that zero
And what are the odds, zero
Even so, why bother?
Because luck is an illusion
Luring us the losers to confusion
With false hope, living us bitter  
Stuck in this infinite losing streak 
That you so badly want to break
In this game you can’t win
Until you really sin

Mandy Tams The Golden Girl May 21, 2012 at 5:32 AM I love this, but your last two line I don't agree with , you can win without the sin and you are a winner in my eyes xx

Dave Timperley May 17, 2012 at 3:47 PM Whoa there, I have never heard of a winning sinner. Maybe it's my not believing in luck. Better to believe in yourself than loaded dice. The house always wins. Nice write. God Bless. Dave. Ronny Madonsela May 18, 2012 at 11:34 AM Lol, Dave of coarse this game is Russian roller so there's no winnng

Just an example of some valleys I hit, it was real redundant, let me telllll ya.... but smile the most you can, it'll be ok. could relate to your poetry and that is the mark of a good writer! God bless, Cindy Lu
