Lotto
scratched a lotto ticket
tossed it tward the sun
for little reason
whats done is done
could careless if it was the one
that won
fate sealed
like a blind bird
flys into the trees
cant see the forest
nor the breeze
nor would he
even if he wanted to see
understood as destiny
ran from peace and prosperity
into the arms
of dictators and austerity
now marry me
say the many to the one
the whore to the priest
angel to the beast
the truth of the lie
can be seen
in the eye
let out a sigh
kick the pebbles on the road
truth be told
to much amazement
leaves the imagination dry
like gum on a pavement
