Resigned Poem by Aldo Kraas

I resigned from gambling before it turned to an addiction
Because I knew that I could get hooked on it fast
I gamble $ 100.00 in the slot machines
Before each night
And I never won anything
The sound of the slot machines drove me crazy
To tell you the thruth
I was getting tired of the casino life
And the casino crowds
I finally decided to resigned from the casino life
I don't regret at all
Nobody else made that decision for me
I done it myself
I hate going without eating
And having an empty fridge in the house
And being left without money also
Because when the bills come
There is when the headaches starts
In my life
And I know lots of people who gambled there life
Away and lost there homes
There cars
And there retirement pensions
Gambling didn't made me any richer
Neither it changed my life
I am happy being who I am
I don't need any more
Because I have plenty
