A Deadly Game of Snakes and Ladders
Life’s a board, a roll of dice,
Climb a ladder — how nice, how nice.
A step, a leap, you’re flying high,
Then a hiss, a slip — goodbye, goodbye.
The snakes are quiet, coiled and still,
Waiting soft with silent thrill.
One wrong move, you lose your ground,
Sliding back without a sound.
Ladders gleam with hope and height,
A sudden rise, a spark, a light.
But every square, a risk, a fall,
A deadly game — you risk it all.
Roll again, the dice won’t care,
Chance and fate — an unfair pair.
Climb, descend, it’s all the same,
Life’s just snakes and ladders’ game.
Yet still we play and still we payđź’”
