God Is Playing A Game Of Dice With Humanity



Every dawn of a day is misery,
A day of celebration is misery,
A sports day is misery,
Even a day of the Holy Communion is misery,
God is playing a game of dice with humanity,

Which day is clear sky?
Which cloud has no silver lining?
Who is not gonna sin at all?
Who is not gonna drown or float in the sea of tomorrow?
If only I know the rest of my day would be perfect,
I will stress less and be merry,
Unfortunately stress is excitement before dawn,
God is playing a game of dice with humanity

Take a lady who is about to wed,
She is a mixture of stress and excitement,
She's woven in the cocoon of heat and cold,
Spider webs are everywhere,
Spelling danger beyond the fancy dress that we see,
Gold is playing a game of dice with humanity,

Tomorrow is certain to come,
The journey is clear skies, dark clouds and sunny day,
The miss and hit of my expectations,
I change places and lifestyle
Because I knew the weapon of my death,
I drove on the unfamiliar road
Because I knew the day of the trap on the usual road,
I missed the party that day because I knew what it held for me,
Unpalatable cake and sour friends,
Behold, I was in the dreamland of a sweet nightmare,
Gold is playing a game of dice with humanity,

Wisdom is only a cushion for tomorrow's bumpy road,
Yesterday is the limit of tomorrow's severity,
The enhancer of excitement and beauty,
Seas and oceans are forever endeavouring,
To reach the end of the world,
Not aware that it's a merry go-round journey,
The dirt in the flow is chasing the prophesy away,
Let's gather knowledge to soften the burden of the unknown,
Save food to alleviate the severity of seasonal change, like ants do,
Invest in a compass to pre-read the potholes before us,
God is playing a game of dice with humanity,

The treasure hunt is marked with thorns, hard and soft rocks,
Sometimes with a rain of liquid gold,
Sometimes with a rain of blood tears,
Sometimes with a torrential rain of boiling water,
Signalling the end of lives,
Some people say, ‘the end of the world, '
God is playing a game of dice with humanity,

I resolve to clear my conscience,
The minute I'm in now, is precious,
I resolve to stay level headed,
The shepherd of today is me, tomorrow has its own shepherd,
Wisdom is past tense,
It's meant to lesson or enhance the extremities of the future,
High speed driving is too slow for tomorrow,
God is playing a game of dice with humanity,
