The Game of Chance Called Life

Playing cards or musical chairs

Both games of chance

Where luck may tumble down the stairs

Or luck can enhance

Life is also like these games

One moment we are on top
And the next moment we are tamed

And we just think of doing the drop

Life is a bloody gamble

With man as the player

It may end up in shambles

Or we may come up as winners

Excellent job with this! I like the comparison between games and life--it's very well phrased. I don't know if you need to flat-out state that life is like games...the reader can probably make that connection...but that's just my opinion. I really enjoyed this.

A brilliant metaphor that connects on several levels... Yes, life is often a game we play out as best we can.. and even with out best, chance has its hand in every day. May you win this hand, my friend.

Great work! it's a gamble in a game we all play and sadly losers and addicts are inevitable. but the payouts are big-it's what keeps us at the table.
