    Death and Fate

    He is the bringer
    of mass destruction;
    play his game-
    play it well.
    There is no room
    for second chances-
    win or loose
    and close the deal.
    Bluff and find
    his hand is better;
    bet and all to soon you find;
    death does not
    rely on chance,
    when it comes
    to frame of mind.
    Victory
    taste all the sweeter,
    when prelude
    to bitter guile.
    You are weak,
    he's always stronger-
    do not fight,
    give up your life.
    Fate steps forth,
    it's time to forfeit;
    cash your chips
    reserve your place;
    After all,
    life is but a passage-
    a single story,
    played out on a page.
    A page of life
    that has been written
    and it is
    time
           to
             close
                     the
                         book..

    very gloom. so without hope this character is. its acceptance of death makes this character the most dangerous of all emotions.

    Yes, indeed the page of violence and injustice and destruction has been written; seemingly, over and over again thru the ages. Indeed I feel the sordid mess history is playing out for us to witness; is the same old story of man seemingly bent on a suicide bent. And, I wonder, if that is why man is looking to enter a new exploration outside of t he realm of earth and in to the moon. May it never happen; or I am sure the devastation they have wrought here will follow them there. Just recently when they bumped purposely in to the moon to look for water; I seen in my mind's eye....the picture of that great American Indian with tears running down the worn furrows of his face. Aye.......aye.......

    interesting poem the way you use death and gambling to make the point and end with a book, cool the way you did that

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
