Lottery

The night I had won
Was unlike any other
There was a strange chill

Reminding me of
A dark trip down the river
And stale promises

Of coins stacking up
Of strangers choking me out
And full reversals

To spend my last days
Unbound from the trivial
The frivolous things

The LORD had freed me
Knowing I would not worship
But simply enjoy

And there was no luck
A conversation with God
And perfect timing

Very great reward
A soap box to exclaim from
Jesus is in charge

The difference unclear
Between life and afterlife
Not too important
