Gambler…

The very word 'Gambler' has so much of a negative connotation to it. He's a negative person in every way no matter what he gambles with or for. But I'm particularly interested in card gamblers. Look at the way the play their games.

First they let people know that they gamble but they never tell them their tricks of winning the games. They never show people their cards and they always guess, mostly on logic, what the cards of the opponent might be. Every time they're betting on winning.

I just have one question. What's the difference between a person who really wants to win and the gambler I described above?

Hardly any.

The Happy Prince

Nostalgia


An innocent running stream of fresh cold water,
The first silky ray of the tender morning sun,
Deep green waters of solitary seas,
The only line of golden lights shining in a dark cold night,
The sole long shadow that witnesses the orange setting sun,
The fallen eyelash of the most treasured eye,
The tears of sheer happiness after the much desired achievement
And a hand that runs through your hair caring the most….

Are all forms of a never ending and ever desired…nostalgia!

The Happy Prince

Think...

We’re all on a run, but for a moment wait!
Just think of your fate
Who are we? Where is our compound?
Where is our gate?

Where do we start?
Where do we end?
What do we borrow?
What can we lend?

We’re on a road
But where does it lead?
We hear many voices
But whom do we heed?

We have empty hands
But we have open minds
We’re young, we’re fast
We come in all kinds

Am I all alone?
Or am I amongst the gifted few?
Do I belong to a crowd?
Or am I unique like all of you?

We have our flaws
And we have our qualities
But trust me, we’re all equal
When it comes to life’s realities

If not now then when?
If not now then it wont be late then?
Think! Think! Think! This is the time
Years will pass just in a blink…


The Happy Prince

People Only Decide...

He won all the races
And he had all the aces
Wherever he went
He won! Won! Won!
There was no doubt
He was One! One! One!
And when the final moment came
Something went wrong
He started all right
But he lost by long
What happened did happen
And he cannot ask why
What happened did happen
He cannot sit and cry
What happened did happen
He has to accept it
What happened did happen
He must not forget it
What happened did happen
From it he must learn
He must start all over
And what he lost he must yearn

Its true life’s unfair
And justice is in books
There are honest people
And there exist crooks
And one doesn’t always eat
Whatever he cooks
Is true life’s unfair
And justice is in books
Man only endeavors
Its god who delivers
Man appoints people, calls ‘em judges
And sets ‘em god beside
God does justice, people only decide…
