Snakes & Ladders, mere a game of chance,
Where random steps a dice compels to move;
Sometimes ladders push to heights for home,
Alas, sometimes, snakes pull down, to lose!
Absent where rational, irrational, predictive or a hunch,
With a dice in one hand, awaiting in another token;
To commence voyage in linearity but not ||el to time,
Amidst uncertainty randomness of universe’s that’s itself broken.
Neither the ladder is chosen nor the snakes befriended,
Nor any one ladder or a snake could forge one’s path;
Numbers rolled matter not, but, ups & down, rise & fall,
As moved being in concave or convex since the start.
Snakes & Ladders, doesn’t matter in it, be a tortoise or hare,
A game of chance for token to sail through in ease or despair!😇
