Ace's & 8's

Aces & 8's

Death is way too easy,

Life is way too hard

I can't see what's in your hand,

Oh yeah it's that Ace of Spades playing card

Perhaps one day I'll hold that full house,

Aces and eights my dear

A dead man's hand as named by many,

Too bad that most of you hold it and then see fear

Death is way too easy,

Life is way too hard

I can't see what's in your hand,

Oh yeah it's that Ace of Spades playing card

Remind me why I bother these days,

Can't tell you why I care

Knowing that all my hard work will be the death of me,

Can't leave a legacy without someone around to listen and hear

So here's the final chorus,

Take these words with a grain of salt

Screw this world and your pain as we all have it,

Make sure to know that you aren't the martyr and it is all my fault

Death is way too easy,

Life is way too hard

I can't see what's in your hand,

Oh yeah it's that Ace of Spades playing card

"Death is way too easy,
Life is way too hard"
I like the repetition in your poem. Made the poem stronger and gave the poem purpose and reason. Life is like a card game. We must live with the cards we are given. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
