YES!

I Win

Every Time.

Each win I grow,

Gaining wealth and mates.

Everyone shares my glory.

What is Mediation?

Almost 49,000 people waited more than four hours to be seen at RBH’s A&E department – politicians call for action

And success breed more success.

All singing when I am winning!

Reached the top, the only way is down.

Alone, crying coz I’m losing.

And failure breeds more failure.

No one shares my defeat.

Lost all cash and chums.

Each loss I shrink.

Every time,

I loose.

NO!
