'Luck'...a subject that could create volumes of work. There is a lovely phrase..."If it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all" atributed to so many and part of the lyrics of, 'Born Under a Bad Sign' recorded by blues singer and guitarist Albert King in 1967. It was also recorded by the rock band 'Cream' in 1968 for their third album 'Wheels 0f Fire'.
MY NAME IS LUCK
In voids of fear and hope I hide per chance to play a hand
In turning wheels and hidden card with dotted dice to land
Charms and omens I possess, my chants and rhymes abound
When tumbled dice could change a life, I'm difficult to be found
I hear the desperation prayers, of anguish or desire
I see the tears of weeping dreams, deceptions of the liar
The bullet from assassins gun I can pause before the end
and at the final lottery call countless heartbreaks I will send
I’m scorned for failure and blamed for distress
and if by chance I play my hand, mocked for my success
Now and then I’ll grant my gift, when with my heart I see
But do not forget my power my friend, all chance belongs to me
