Casino Life

July 14^th, 2011

The streets are hustling with money, bets, and power

The customers arrive and enjoy luxury at its finest at the price of their savings

Sweat and anxiety of not achieving a gambit

Pulsed into fire fights over the atrophic gluttony for lucre

Gangs and mobs stalking in the shadows and infiltrating the crowds

Assassinating each other over debts and feuds

Instead, a mound of apprehension where firearms are loose

Only those with valour and wits conquer the pasture of the unfortunate predecessors

Stripped due to the debts and envy of others, the gamblers have no place to hide

Murder over reason, objections over gambling

Spilled with the indolence of vendors and languid casino owners

Heating repercussions crushing the meagre middle class gambler

Coinage and paper currency falling vainly out of the lifeless hand of a gambler

Due to the failure of striking a victory against a roulette machine

Anguished with no veracity of the gamblers’ failure

Drained and lethargic, the door is slammed with a dejected client

Stuffing the affluent with more cheap merchandise and trouble-free loot

Keep on ranting, the prosperity shall fall out of your hands

The ice will shatter and inundate with the wrath of the seven sins

Losing your cool exterior because of disease does not compensate for this

Using your anger without rationality is not an excuse

The statues will be smashed due to you

Be deliberate; let your progress guide you

Do not rave at the scion for his stubbornness

Let your wrath take over your intellect, you shall crumble

Do not let it take over, let the coolness proceed into the steam of reactor

Don’t let the bitterness take over you, plunge into the surface and

wiggle out of the tunnel and let the sunlight embrace you

Do not let your anger vanquish you, if it does it causes chaos and depression

Warm yourself, watch the plants grow, and let the flowers blossom

Let the sunlight be your saviour

Live your life with joy, Carpe Diem.

The moon is on the rise... Cheer yourself with a cup of tea
