Reaper Roulette

Reaper Roulette

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

When you are in debt

To the reaper

You can bet your life

That time will stand still

While your death

Becomes the roulette wheel;

You don’t place your wager

On a number or color

Your soul will land on,

But if heaven or hell

Will determine your legacy

When the world stops turning.

With a fifty/fifty chance

To win the highest stakes

You have a better shot

To avoid crapping out

In the snake’s eye.

Wow...the uncertainty of it all. Even in death we aren't sure where we land. At least on earth there's life insurance. Your concepts are novel and your words hold much wisdom. Inspired by you. ♥

You are welcome ♥
So much temptation comes our way in life that surely the odds are stacked; then again, perhaps the 'head croupier' is more benevolent than we imagine.

Much enjoyed this. Beccy.

what a clever, funny way to put it...yes, a fifty/fifty chance is what we have...and we hope the coin will land on the right side for us.

same as our soul.

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
