Player’s Burn

Copyright © Priya Florence Shah

🍾🍾🍾

Old players striving

To relive their youth,

Geriatrics with harems,

So base and uncouth.

🍾🍾🍾

Indulgent and deviant,

Feckless and crass.

The heavy cost comes

For their reckless acts.

🍾🍾🍾

🍾🍾🍾

Now ignored and forgotten

Their pleas fall on deaf ears,

Because nobody cares

For the bankrupt’s fears.

🍾🍾🍾

When you play with fire,

The hard truth you’ll learn,

The flames of evil choices

Will inevitably burn.
