Coin toss, a poem, comments?
the coin spins on its side
heads, you look forward to
what you want and can't have
tails, you accept what today holds
either way, you think you lose
so when it falls and comes
to full stop
you pick it up
and spin it again
pocket-change,
the only change
you see
I didn't mean it to be political.....

Until one day it stops in its edge.

Hmm ... this is political in nature, and I was told to stay away from this stuff.
I beg to differ, but we'll see ...
THAT BEING SAID: On a metaphorical note - It does seem people keep trying to get the side of the coin they want. Try and try instead of just keeping what you get the first time. Sometimes it's just better to roll the dice, keep what you get and make the best of it.
EDIT: My apologies. Everything is political or religious to me today - tooo many conversations.

I like this, I think we are left with thoughts political on our minds *daily*
now, which in someways is so very sad, that we think it should need be, yet there seems no escape.........Life is a gamble in it self, much like Russian roulette, and a darn if you do or don't in this era.
Good write Sue.

That is why people buy lottery tickets too...a momemt of escapism! The thrill of the roulette wheel, the roll of the die, the spin of a quarter and the 'best of seven'! lol

Decisions made on a coin toss - how much rationalization is in that. Sometimes it is the the easy way out - sometimes the only way out - but always - just a way out. ♥

Whoever they may be: monks, scribes or scholars is of no moment if we consider the many many revisions, additions, subtractions, and mis-translations. The version of King James simply does not, could not reflect the true spirit of the original writings.
