You Could Be A Winner

You Could Be A Winner
We discover our mettle in times of hardship.
What matters is to be forbearing in whatever battleship.
I come from the hills and have disavowed companionship.
The people must be free of narcissism and dictatorship.
Thinking is critical and meditating is good.
I like to push myself whenever I'm not in the mood.
Someone made an abstraction out of love.
And likened amicability to the dove.
The hand can't simply slip into the glove.
Capitalism wins when push comes to shove.
You could be a winner;
Your odds are that good.
Death lurks everywhere,
Check your neck of the woods.

You could be a winner;
The cards are fine.
They spell out your future, but only God knows what time.
We were poor from the start;
Don't rain on my shine.
Look at the cards backward,
It could be an apple or a pine.
I've never met you before,
But your eyes answer every quirky riddle.
The riddle that pushes us to morality and the stoic middle.
All that exists of it is this;
I am one and I am fickle.
You could be a winner,
You've wanted greatness since you were little.

You could be a winner;
Life is always magical.
I never understood slang,
Does 'rad' stand for radical?
It sounds extremist;
Guns don't tickle.
These are the days; I see the Beast will bow to the nickel .
A frigid ideological war has been left to pickle.
You could be a winner;
Do drugs control your life?
You could be the next legend;
M.J too had his time.
I have more fun with my money dime for dime.
I like to get high all day and call it downtime.
You could be a winner;
Things take time.
OPEC cut production so that the economy could stabilise.
You could be a thinker;
Grow old and wise,
Marry a cute girl and tinker with her thighs.
You could be a winner;
The time is nigh.
The key is not to gamble and stay really high.
You would still be amazed at all the things money can't buy.
