The Gamble
Would you take this Gamble?
Perhaps you have, unbeknownst,
Lured by the Aces and the chance.
Dealt a bag of nails,
Impossible to bluff,
A hard life awaits you now.
You could be a king, a living God,
Love may even find you.
Not dissuaded by a sufferer’s fate,
You roll these heavy dice.
And how did they land?
Luckily most get another chance,
Once they have seen their hand,
But only if they know they are playing.
