Spin

Land on black there’s no going back.
If you get red you will end up dead.
Its like Russian roulette but more drawn out.
A spiral that has no conclusion.
Think you’ll prevail, yet its a ruse.
No matter what you will always be the one to lose.

Put down your excuses and make a change.
If you don’t you’ll go insane.
Be in debt up to your eyes.
Might even owe them depending on how bad you’re failing.

Got the itch to play another hand.
You won’t be the one on the celebration stand.
Instead you’ll be drowning sorrows in despair.
Can’t afford a beer and so you’ll barter.
If you were thinking it would be a non-starter.
Step away before they start to hunt ya.

Tab so tall you need a rope to climb.
Get some help before your legs are bent out of line.
Cause repayments unmade result in collisions.
And if it goes too long it could then be incisions.

Do yourself a favour sooner than later.
Or would you rather your name on some paper?
Obituary under circumstances quite suspect.
Make a change and it could end up very different.
To the point you could live once more.
Rather than be dwelling in a gutter begging to the cold hard floor!
