Tossing the Coin

by 5 Comments

.

“Heads, I win – Tails, you lose,”
No need for a double-sided coin,
The outcome is assured.
Life can be a wager,
Death to the loser ~~
The highest stake of all.

.

Life can be a gamble,
A game of chance,
And you can only play it once ~~
Here and now is what counts.
Tomorrow is a question mark
Invisible behind a mask.

    “Tomorrow is a question mark
    Invisible behind a mask.”

    And is that a muffled chuckle I hear?
