Some Victories Are Like Defeats

Occasionally, election losses are not bad, At least, you have your hard-earned peace. Controversial victories can make you sad, Depressed, disgusted, dejected, and uneasy; Especially, when thousands of protesters Are sitting and spitting in front of your house. You will regret that you were the winners. You become nervous, on edge like a mouse, Who's surrounded by numerous skilled cats. From time to time, experiencing setbacks Can be advantageous for long-term health. Winning the lottery, having tremendous wealth, Overnight, can kill you. It is great to feel greenbacks Dancing in your pockets. Money brings a lot troubles: Strangers and acquaintances are relentlessly calling: They want a piece of the action, they want something, And are never pleased or satisfied. Money is like bubbles. Money evanesces. It can make you feel like fat cats. Copyright © November 8,2016 Logerie Hébert, All Rights Reserved Hebert Logerie is the author of several collections of poetry.
