Numbah Three - Out of Luck

At the beginning of our lives,

we are given a jar.

A shiny glass jar,

a gift from the universe,

that contains the idea of luck.

Located deep within

the cube, which has the capacity

to hold the secrets,

the history,

the desires

of the soul,

this jar is rather peculiar.

The human race

has learned to manipulate

this delicate jar

for various occasions.

The luck slips though

the slight opening

and enters the mind,

giving automatic positive outcomes.

But with everything worthy,

there is a price to pay.

And in this day and age,

nothing is free anymore.

Unlimited flow of luck

is merely a fantasy,

the concept cannot be

contained forever.

At some point in our lives,

we all run out of luck.

The ultimate questions come down to

do you have any luck left?

Or are you running on empty?
