Joker's Wild

Pick a card
Any card
Now hold it in your hand
I'm going to show you a trick
In your hand you hold your fate
You think you chose it
But you didn't
It waited for you
It called you from the unknown
The abyss of uncertainty
You didn't pick your choice
It was there to be claimed
All you did was remove it
Someone else will not have it
For now
Because once you expire
It goes back for another
And then they stand with fate
In their grasp being led
Never guided
Or guiding
Once you take it
It is yours
There are no returns
You can change it if you want
But the result is the same
So look at your card
Was it what you thought it was?
Were you expecting something else?
Were you expecting this one here?
You can't beat me
Because I'm not the dealer
I'm not even here
Like you are
