Life as a Game of Chance

Jump my heart

Terrified

Half sadness

Half joy

This strong emotion

They only know

The gamblers

Who roll the dice

In a random game

Or they distribute the decks

In a casino or bar!

 

The odds

Fifty and fifty

Only this bet

It’s a life

And the extensions of it

They don’t have

Watch this burial

And yet

They already load

With the dead!
