Trusting Someone who is untrustworthy
is a gamble
where the victor has reputation kindled
and the loser lives with a friendship
lost in a storm of words and deeds.
Boldly telling truth about a liar
is a gamble of words
where the victor becomes the
hunter of innocence
and the loser loses the power of speech.
Loving someone who is unlovable
is a gamble of soul, mind, body, and heart
where the victor takes all
and the loser loses everything.
