Finding Fortune

The illusion of fortune
is a camouflaged trap.
It’s a oneway ticket
on a "how to fail" map.

      Brevity...

      such a cool word... to pack a lot in a little... that itself says a lot, that being said, (without the benefit of brevity), I thank you for your thoughtful words and time you took to review this piece. Both are appreciated - Kevin

      thanks

      yeah, that one came out of no-where (well, it came out of somewhere, I just don't know where) I like to just let the rhyme dictate the flow of the piece. (that takes any pressure off of me - lol) - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. thanks for your time - Kevin
