hope springs in poetry

I'm not saying I'm not deluded too
I don't have faith in ghosts and monsters
but I do have the gambler's fallacy
and sometimes it is almost as bad
so an I declare my lottery addiction
a non-profit church?

it's all about unrealistic belief
and it isn't making me any money
every time I have my dollar
and my dream
and I say
"I've been building up luck
with all my old losses
for this moment
and now I'm gonna win"
I know that it's wrong
but I feel like it's right
and I buy the ticket
and I lose the money
and if that's not a church action
I don't know what is

so when I win the lottery
commissions on Deviantart
for pictures of Shaq
dunking a basketball
into God's mouth
will go up 5000%
and someday?

this will be put up in stained glass
because I'll someday hit the longshot
kiss my taut ass
