A Roulette Wheel dotted with loaded balls stands by
Pointing simultaneously at separate targets
A force threatening at all in its way
Carefully molded with handless ideologies
No thoughtful caring and whispered dreams
Only ruthless directives of personal gain
Tripping through a lifeless life without windows
To see, feel and move among average people; an impossibility
Women and foreigners; only objects of questionable worth
Beware, never underestimate The Gambler…
—Carol Logan-Feikls
