The Lottery Life is like a lottery A broken piece of pottery Very few can see the whole Or touch in life another soul We deal with pieces on the ground Try to glue the pot to sound Some will even hold a piece And try to make a lifetime lease I say to you do not despair You are a piece just waiting there Waiting to be made again You are a novice catechumen The lottery is you my friend And will be to a future end Of all the pieces on the ground Would you be the lucky one found? Stay in line and wait your turn And you’ll become your final urn |

I would have sworn I'd responded to this... if anyone finds my mind, I hope they send it home. *S* As for luck... I'm all out. *S* Or at least I thought I was until I read this and remembered the joy your words bring me. *S* |

Sy, I think that becoming my final urn doesn't fill my heart with joy!  Poem is good but it's heartless to post it right after I missed the Florida lottery for 81 million last week by only five numbers! I was SURE I had the right numbers!  |

Which one should I play? The one where I wait for my number to come up? Or The one where I scratch away and remove what is hiding the riches? As always...Wonderful write! |

Dear Seymour, "Stay in line and wait our turn And in the end I'll be holding my urn!" I believe the real person simply lives within a earthen suit and at death, the suit is taken off, but the real I Am lives on! |
