Whatcha Got To Lose?

Open admiration
is one present that
not many will say,
“Ah, too bad,
I already have one.”

This one chap came across the line that reads, “None are so blind as those who will not see.”  He then thought, “Sure there are – those who write such ideas as though an alternative is possible.”

Although no king will admit it,
and no war college will teach it,
the all-and-forever,
here-now-and-everywhere,
inter-galactic-infinite
best strategy is always this: 
“Don’t Have Anything To Lose.”

One guy used to say to himself,
“Hey, don’t look at me like that –
I know what you’re thinking,”
but he lied.

For his eldest son’s thirtieth birthday, the ole man had a piece of their lawn statuary tattooed with the words, “When it comes to dealing with yourself, a man who has any mercy – has problems.”
