It Can Be True

It can be true that we make our own future though that is not always the case For you can be one of those born at the wrong time and in the wrong place You might be one born into poverty in a Land ravaged by war and drought And right from the start of your existence you seem doomed to be down and out. It can be true that we create our own chances though that can depend on circumstance Percentage wise the child of the ghetto for success has a far slimmer chance Than the child of middle class parents statistics in such cases don't lie For failure the child of poor parents the chances seem to multiply. It can be true that on all of good people that karma will look favorably But since so many good people suffer that would seem an assumption to me I've known good people to mourn for an offspring that the reaper from them had taken away These people did not owe to karma yet through loss a huge debt had to pay. It can be true that those with heaps of money all of the good things in life can enjoy But some wealthy people of illness have died young and good health their money could not buy And to the words 'it can be true' as we know well the truth does not always apply And from this if you wish to find meaning ask somebody wiser than I.
