Enabler

Such a high price

the roll of a dice


A fickle game of chance

a deadly little dance


The stakes are high,

higher than the sky


Is this risk worth it?

You could always cheat


Just don’t get caught,

go and shoot your shot


It can be our secret,

so don’t you fret


I won’t tell a soul,

it’s all under my control


The reward, it’s so good

If I were you, I would


So take a gamble,

let’s hope this doesn’t end in shambles


Cross your fingers,

I hope this feeling lingers


The anxiety of the unknown,

on your face it’s clearly shown


What a price to pay…

so, are you willing to play?
