Snake Eyes

thethemeis: Risk
theauthoris: Luke Stephenson

Behind the scenes you never see
The laws of probability.
We live on blind and blissfully;
Spinning the roulette wheel.

When every breath could be the last,
Ensure you won't regret your past,
And try your utmost best to last
The distance 'neath fate's heel.

Our chances of a life long led
Are best if we don't bet on red.
Pursue a peaceful world instead;
Put off that final meal.

But what is life if lived in fear?
Where comes the joy if we stay near
Too close to home where we can't hear
The laughter others steal?

Bleak shadows linger every day,
With care we keep the worst at bay,
But risk too much and get no say;
Accept your lot and kneel.
