Is There A Way Out Of This Madness?

Eyes wide open-popping out of their sockets like seeds in olives -
Searching frantically - clicking, clicking - mimicking the grasshopper,
Yet mastered by the mouse: a slave to a four day fast,
Hoping in not the past but the future:

"He who works his land will have abundant food,
But he who chases fantasies lacks judgment" Pr. 12:11

Falling for the same lie - the same false hope, time & time again.

What happens if you win? Will that "selfless prophecy" come fulfilled?
What happens if you die? Will that "selfish prophecy" come fulfilled?

The numbered, snow-white balls fall into place -
Gaining freedom for children to receive wisdom -
But your children are chained to the ground by injustice,
With an addict parent eating away their college dreams or even their morning Fruit-Loops...

Why continue? Haven't you learned?

There is a lottery in heaven -
Your heart must have the fear of God & obedience written on it.
You once understood - you once felt your numbers being called,
Your's slowly fades away -
You thought you had the "lucky-numbers,"
Not so lucky now...
