Life Is A Gamble Poem by Jason Callender

who is to know
how it will go
how will the dice roll
what direction will the breeze blow
why is life such a gamble
so quite un-understandable
seems more like a battle
i'm under attack
and i must fight back
such a subtle blow
can take your soul
so just know
how do you know which way to go
when you reach that fork in the road
i've felt my whole life
i've tried to do what i thought
was right
and like that one night
i saw the light
will i get the ace
for the straight
a risk i'm willing to take
like seeing the cops
and u still post up on the block
cause u hot
its all u got
the respect u get
putting your life on the neck
like walking in the bank to cash a check
you bought in the project
but you say yes
cause you blessed
and you put your life on the line
just to get by
