The Wheel Poem by Noah Body

The wheel turns and you never know
Where it will stop or when it will slow

Come one, come all, everyone must play
There can be no bystanders, now or any day

It knows your desires, It decides your fate
You cannot escape, it's already too late

So step on up and lay down your best bet
Come lay it on down there, see what you get

Hold nothing back, It will not avail you
It's all at risk, even life's on there too

For you what does this devilish wheel hold?
Is it health and prosperity, riches and gold?

Is it joy and happiness, love stronger then steel?
Is contentment for you to be found on this wheel?

Or is there heartbreak and pain in the next turn?
Will the outcome of this spin make your heart burn?

Will madness and insanity be there where it stops?
Will crippling disfigurement show up at the top?

You've risked it all whether you like it or not
So watch the wheel closely to determine your lot

Spin after spin it laughs at us mortals
And waiting for all is death's portal
