RISK
Kriti Gupta Dec 2014
Every risk you take add on to your experience
Every experience you have add on to your learning being enhance
And every learning adds on to the person who you are.
Risk it and you’ll know you can actually go real real far.

It was a risk she took and through pain she strive
Our birth was a risk she took and now we are alive.
The risk worth of hearing her baby’s first cry
All you need is to believe it and give it a try.

It was risk that we’ll fall but we learned to walk
Great orators came into light when they risk it what they talk
He was a common man before becoming the first one to land on moon
It was the risk he took not like since birth he was bestowed to set his foot

Feared to risk your job for your passion’
And down there you may be a billionaire but what happen to your dream turned ashen
Scared to set foot on a completely different world out there
This is the moment you need to risk it out of no where

It must be a risk to fall for someone you can’t get along
But you need to risk it if he is the one you want
You may turn out to be the one for him, happy ever after you two
If not, he was there to definitely make a certain positive difference in you

So why so scared about the risk you are about to take
You don’t know what out of you it is going to make
you’ll learn the importance of your survival, of your life
You’ll know the weightage of the truth and the count of lies

You may win or you may even fail
But surely you’ll learn a lot, risk it and it won’t go in vain
Every risk you take is a learning you make
For once in life you need to risk your heart keeping everything at sake

True as they say “ the biggest mistake you’ll ever make”
“are the risks you were too scared to take”
Risk it so that you won’t regret later, regret of not giving it a shot
Better experience the phase rather than being killed by it thought

If you’ll risk it, you’ll get stories to tell
What a life is, if its smooth, it got to be a little unwell
If you don’t try, you’ll never know
What exactly is your worth and what you really know

So Are You A... Risk TAKER... ?
Or One Who Plays... SAFER... ?

Than Those Whose Flavour …
Prefers … MISBEHAVIOUR... !!?!!
The Reason I Ask Is Because It's QUITE A Task...
To Make Your Mark If Your Thing Is... ART... !!!

One Day In Conversation An Artist Got To STATING...

That.....

"For your art to hit hard and top the charts,
that you've got to take risks, to be a big thing !"

Which I Guess Is True But Think It Through...
Is Risk INTRINSIC... To Being ARTISTIC... ???

I Guess It Is …
When SO MANY USE Gimmicks...
And MANUFACTURED Lyrics …
To Make It In The Bizness'... !!!

The Business of CREATING...
Art That's... Entertaining...

I Guess That's What He's Saying... ?

Art That's … INNOVATING...
May Well INDULGE Risk Taking... ?

But Art That's REAL...
Seems To Be... "Concealed"...

So The Risk To Me Would Seem To Be...
Being An Artist Whose Art Is... FREE... !!!

From Poetry To Comedy …
It's A Risk To Concede To Artistically...
Be A Breed Whose Speech And Artistry …
FITS In Boxes or … “ TV's “...

... Know What I Mean... ?!?

It's An INDUSTRY Where Art COMPETES...
For WHAT... Trophies And BIG MONEY... ?

..... Well That's Just NOT ME..... !!!

But it is RISKY …
To PIN Your Hopes On Artistic Dreams... !!!

Like It Is To BELIEVE …
That SELLING DOPE Ups Periscopes... !!!

... I DON'T THINK SO... !!!

You May Just Sink And Take A HIT...
That ROCKS Your Boat Like CRACK Or Coc'... !!!!!

It's A Risk To TAKE HARD DRUGS You Know... !!!!!
I Mean CLASS A Cos' Most CAN'T Cope...
When It Comes To ADDICTIONS...
That Lead To... "MENTAL PRISONS"... !!!

Apparitions And Prescriptions …
That LIMIT Bigger Visions...
Because of Preconditions …
Positioned Next to VILLAINS.... !!!!!

So... Talking of POSITIONS...
What About These Women... ?!?
With Heads That BOB Like Chickens... !?!?!
They AREN'T ALL... " Finger Lickin' "... !!!!!

In FACT These Days I'm Thinking........
That Condoms Should Be... THICKENED... !!!!!!

Cos' ***** Holes Be STINKIN'... !!!!!!!
of RISKS That Have *****... SHRInkin'... !!!!!!!

It's A Risk To Link With THESE HOT Chicks...
Who Now FRY GUYS Who Think They're Wise...

UNTIL What Rests …
BETWEEN Their Thighs Brings TEARS To Eyes... !!!

Because of *** With A Hole That RIDES...
MORE Than Bikers... RIDE Their Bikes... !!!!!!

But Ladies It's A RISK For You... !!!
To MESS With Dudes Whose Vibe Is Cool...
Has Got NICE SUITS And Money TOO... !!!!!!

.......... DON'T Be Fooled.........
ALL That GLITTERS DIGS OUT Holes...
Just Like THOSE Who DIG For Gold... !!!!!

Ya' See RISKS Are HERE...
And RISKS Are... THERE... !!!!!

So Are You Prepared To RISK Truth or Dare... ?!?
I'd Rather RISK TRUTH Than LIE To PROVE...
I Can Walk Amongst SNAKES To Make My Way... !?!

The Game Nowadays Is...
FAR FROM............................... ............ Fair...... !!!!!
And RISKS DON'T CARE Like Medusas... STARE... !!!!

RISKS Are... " Stone Cold "...
With NO BREWSKIS Yo... !!!!!!!

It's A RISK To Drink And Drink TOO MUCH... !!!
Like It Is To Do Stuff That'll Get You CUFFED... !!!

Because Cops SPILL BLOOD...
And LIKE To PULL GUNS...

So... WATCH YOURSELF Son... !!!!!!!!!

DON'T PLAY That You're TOUGH …
… UNLESS You ARE... !!!!
Cos' Police MARK Cars …
Like Dealers DO CARDS... !!!!

It's A Risk To Gamble...
If You CAN'T HANDLE That BIG LOSS... !!!

Because Like James said...

"You have to pay the cost, to be the boss !"...

And On That Note...

I'll RISK One LAST Quote... !!!
It's A RISK To VOTE For POLITICAL Folks... !!!!!

As It Is To... EVOKE...
That Risks Are THE WAY For A Person To GO... !?!

When It Comes To Lyrics And Scripts I FLIP...
I STICK To THIS NO Gimmicks or TRICKS...
Or... Trying To Be SLICK... !!!!!

My CREATIVE Vibes And Dealings In Life...
DON'T Deal In Cosmetics …
Because They're AUTHENTIC... !!!

Which LIMITS THIS...
A NEED To STICK To Doing Things...

That Make Me INDULGE In TAKING...

........ " RISKS "........
I suggest you think, before you take one !

Parable of Risk

I invent because I risk being turned down
I write because I risk not being published
I busk because I risk being ridiculed
I joke because I risk falling flat
I gamble because I risk my luck
I move because I risk not staying
I dream because I risk a nightmare
I imagine because I risk reality
I express because I risk being different
I fail because I risk success
I wish because I risk refusal

I am an addict because I risked excess.

Yet, I continue to control my own horizon
change the panorama and Velux® the vista.

Because I know, that when I have fear, I
am about to do something courageous.

Besides, faith is the opposite to fear and
lessons from one's past, wrap the present.

So, I must not open it, because if I do, then,
all will be exposed, and future will be at risk.
