On Gambling Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

On Gambling



To a frog that’s never left his pond the ocean seems like a gamble.
Look what he is giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition!
The ocean frog just shakes his head. “I can’t really explain what it’s
like where I live, but some day I will take you there.” Rumi
