Imagine the masochism that invests in disappointment
argues for continuance ,deficits budgets
degrades relationships and wishes to be legalized
so more can experience lowered lifestyles.
Hypnotism seduces-"this will benefit education /the arts"
(Lies!They skim the profits for a government bankrupt!
launder profits in their cash flow/become that crime cliche
that leads to suicides and murders-it is all degrees
from bingo to scratchoffs to lotto to betting all wages
Addiction is part of the process-allurement of winners
random and rare(computer odds favor the house
Media card games like Texas High Noon Holdems
(as exciting as watching golf with the sound off)
Whether it be pokies or poker or races or one armed bandits
we are betting that our lives will be enriched by loss
Leave to return,burn our money (like owning yachts-
Odds are against us ever stopping.Drug of random.
Toss the dice and watch us watching.Lost Vagueness
Atlantic City.Martin Scorsese.Boardwalks and boom/bust
Our economy lurches towards loss.(We are lost
and arts and education are stripped of their powers
as we trust in a process that is anonymous.
I bet you I don't either, having once been married to a compulsive gambler for three years - which was too long. Good that you point out who benefits from this pernicious business.
