flashy stuff that kills

I justed worked a zz top(old school 80s group) concert at this Indian casino way out in the middle of no where. I've passed many casinos and seen all those adds for gambling with there gambling hotlines attached to them. Those 800 numbers that the casinos sets up for the addicts that they created. So i got to go inside this casino; what i saw broke my heart. I saw a bunch of older people coming from all over to put there life long savings in a machines with little return, I also saw younger people that did'nt have as much but hoped for more from this system that takes but doesn't return. I watched these people some who were smiling and seemed to be happy, But others who were being sucked dry and eaten alive by theses flashy machines, As i watched one lady putting in some money into a slot; I could see on her face the neglected family at home. I could see gallons of milk or life savings being sucked down these slot machines. If you could only imagine the things i saw in this institution. Just like the Devil, calling this place fun with his flashy ways, but in the end leaving void and dead. Casinos can go back to hell were they came from!
