Gambler's Bravado

6 objects each side 

luck rolls for tides 

cause gambling's a vice 

life's most unknown price


The house always wins, where you been?

quarters spent, quarters earned 

playing through luck is by choice 

till life's curtains close


whether by wheel, cards or machines 

no one loses to the devil's deals 

fist clenched with hope 

gambling's a struggling rope 


no end to the system knows 

only knots and bolts 

rusting probability machine 

locked in a torturous daydream


tables do flip, trust the cards 

we do not rest till we get this hand...
