Punctured by a six inch blade
After a night of partying
Confronted by a man of hate
"Give me all your money"
The fact that you had been gambling didn't bode well
No money to fulfill the man's request
Left you lying in a pool of your own blood
Couple dollars saved could have spared your life
But you spent it all on your so-called "little" problem
Little turns to big all too often
Which was the case on this faithless night
At least you don't have a gambling problem, anymore

Life's a Gamble

Body full of holes

Couple dollars saved could have spared your life

At least you don't have a gambling problem, anymore
Right?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
