Don't Fold...Stay In The Game

Place your bet...don't fold

stay alert...study the game.

Don't be fooled by the Blackhat,

for his cunning will be in vain.


He's ahead of the game for many...

masses play into his hand.

He's banking on their weakness

to carry on his plan.


Keep your wits about you

be secure with the winning hand,

for the winner is already promised

for those that understand.


Few are the ones watching

His strategic plan unfold

who know the stakes at hand

but not His promise told...


That the Blackhat will remain the victor

as the stakes continue to soar,

to be struck down in the very end

by the Whitehat's holding

of the promised aces four.

Your message is clear, and I don't have to read behind the lines.

Black/White, Good/Evil, as though there are not some of both in all hearts. Only one perfect and he is still in control. Sounds almost like a Nostradameos poem, shrouded in a mystery but still very clear in it's meaning. I think more are watching than imagined.

I found so much duality in its meaning. Great poem.

Mysterious, yet revealing. Hold out to the end for His promise! This is a deep, enlightening poem, Pat, for players whose eyes remain open.
I'll save this one to read again when I need encouragement.

Pat,

You have gotten to the heart of the matter in a very clever way! I love the way you have woven this offering, like a skilled tapestry weaver. Look between the lines for the real solution. Very good!
