Keep Playing

You can take all the winnings, or you can be left with no part,
When you bet all you've got, you elevate gambling to an art.   
The highs stakes environment, the possibility of a disaster, 
The looming enslavement, or the thrill of emerging a master. 

A strategy that is high risk, aut Caesar aut nihil, 
Its OK to be left high and dry, but just go for the kill.  
The real crime is when you are tempted - to play it safe, keep it low key,
Not exploring what you're made of, not realizing what you can really be.
 
The journeys you take, the destinations you seek,
Should terrify the gods, speak nothing of the meek.   
What happens though, when you've jumped from a plane,
And the parachute didn't open, you're now plastered and in pain.
 
Fly high and dream again, bet on the sky that's left,
A sliver of hope always remains, so let that be your bet.
