Aces Over Kings

Aces Over Kings

Take a look at the world around you,
All of the pain and all of the hurt,
All of the beauty and all of the love,
The highest of clouds and lowest of dirts.

Peel back all the superficial,
And look into the deep,
When you peer into the mirror of the world,
Tell me what it is you see.

To be truthful, you don't have to tell me,
For I have been there and I know,
The mirror shows who controls your destiny,
A simple reflection is all it will show.

No matter what cards you are dealt,
You are the one who plays them,
Not some universal power,
Bent to condemn.

Every situation you find yourself in,
Is not some random cosmic coincidence,
But a culmination of all your past choices,
And will become apart of your next incidence.

So stand up and take responsibility,
it's not God's, or Allah's, or Indra's fault,
The blame for your life rest on your shoulders,
Don't fall to some scapegoat by default.

Learn to play with the cards your dealt,
And understand that there are more hands to play,
Every situation has infinite outcomes,
Life is not black and white, but a billion shades of grey.

So don't just lay back and fold,
But sit up straight and take what your life brings,
Fold all of your shitty hands,
And play hard on Aces over Kings.
