ONE BIG GAMBLE

by ignatius-hosiana

*He didn't listen hence he did stumble He lost all his stake in one big gamble For he called my advise mere mambo jambo Till he finally saw the game end at an angle for he no longer watched, his heart did rumble He's now silent with regret and humble for they who think they know the jungle meet with uncertainty, and get eaten like mango He lost all his stake in a giant gamble chasing after the big win,the bundle Now even in sleep all he does is mumble his regret and stress, though he says he can handle I see despair in him as hope does dangle For the future's a locked door, a dark tunnel After he lost all his stake in one big gamble he wears gloom as beautifully as a bangle*
