Some With Good Reason To
Some with good reason to say life's unfair
But that said we all breathe in the same air
And we all sleep and eat and drink and die
In that the billionaire no different to you and I
Though 'twould be nice to live as a billionaire
Without the burden of financial care
To live the life of which many only dream
Though for one to win many must lose 'twould seem
Yet the Reaper who creates equality
Does not differentiate between wealth and poverty
Like the aged tree to death we too must fall
There is a final night and day for all
'Tis short enough the human lifetime span
So why not live for as long as you can.
