Roll the Dice-Charles Bukowski

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.

if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.

you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.

Run into fear and peril. Defeat them. Never stop truth.

[lulassong]

Love the voice, does justice to the poem.♥️

[gobeond]

Deep, deep, profound and true. A rarity in this vacuous world of hype, bullshit and illusion.

[ReformedR]

The type of bars that make you want to jump head first off of the top of mount everest just for the sake of it

[sandrapurple]

If you decide to go all the way, you will find it very difficult to pretend in all spheres of your life...
Most stuff that most people are into, you ‘ ll find them completely irrelevant and the only thing that will get you on a high is to always get a grasp of yourself and keep doing so

[jamesgardner]

I hope Bukowski went all the way with JESUS before he died, but, to my understanding, I don't see or hear indications that he did; however, he was my favorite poet... So honest and blunt in all he said.... Brother James 🙏

[mitsurugi]

If yr into buk in this time and age then yr in a rare crowd.

[giannispapadakis]

apisteuto..!!! bravo file sunxaritiria anatrixiasa..! einai allou to videaki..! keep going

[tangobango]

Hank was a slob, a drunk...a genius...all in one. This voice is too rich and strong for a Bukowski reading...Bukowski’s voice itself was the best vehicle for his prose&poetry.

[ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣΜΠΑΙΜΠΟΥΡΤΙΔΗΣ]

Παρα πολλυ καλη δουλεια, ο ηχως οι σκηνες τα πλανα ολα υπεροχαα...!

[gabrielj.]

i like how Charles Bukowski is credited dead last after all the titles filled with your name

[HughRogers]

Hank's gravestone said - Don't Try...

[susanburgess]

Oh hank, wish i could have helped even a little of your pain. And not "in that you are missed. Subbed. Love the narrator too.❤❤❤👏👏👏😏😏😏🙏🙏🙏

[cacique]
