fortune's fool

in a rare moment of clarity
he realized his rise to riches
did not make him wiser
nor less boorish

having seen a vision
of his sole life's revision
life seemed nothing less
than a lie

throwing fortune to the wind
he will begin his life again
among the paupers without friends
once again

I say yes to your question because at the end he has repeated his rise and fall. It's symbolic of a chronic gamblers life. So good to see you have graced my page with your presence. Glad you enjoyed my poem. Love your latest ones, Gabe. xoxo
