Petes Poetry
Old words new desires
Is it the challenge and entertainment?
or is it poverty and payment?
is it the sport of kings?
or is it hogging all your things?
is it Government ploys?
just look at the lives it destroys
is it desire and greed?
or is it a compulsive need?
do I choose to abuse
a life to use and lose
I need to save
before I end up in the grave.
like stable accommodation.
I created this situation.
like owning my own car
instead of gambling at a bar.
I need assets and pride
it's up to me to decide
wealth and wisdom is what this traveler seeks
even if I don't gamble for a few weeks
I am like a worn out engine
no guts, puffing smoke
I'm nobody's legend
but I'm gunna seize the moment and not choke.
