Lottery Dreams
I played
The Florida Lottery
Today with a
Jackpot of
33 million dollars.
It’s the first time
I ever got a
Lottery ticket in
My life.
I used to say
Buying a ticket
Is like throwing
Cash away.
But I realized
One day that the
All the winners
Would never have won
With that attitude.
So………
I felt lucky
And bought some
Feeling like
Willy Wonka.
I fantasized how
I would spend
My $
And how my life
Would change
Forever.
I would help many
other people too
fulfill their dreams.
It felt so good
For the 24 hours
Before the
Drawing.
Finally,
Full of
Anticipation
And dread I
Checked the
Numbers
And……..
Of course
I lost.
Like millions
Of others.
But I was
Amazed i
Felt so
Disappointed.
Dreams
Vanquished.
Life unchanged.
How could I
Be so silly?
Life is
Piles of
Rejections
Cruelties
Disappointments
On
And
On.
