Meditation 2: The Poor Versus The Rich Child Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Do one has a choice
When to be born?
How to be born?
Where to be born?
Is it a game of chance
Orchestrated by divine guidance?

Why is child A born in a wretched family
And child B born into affluence?
Why not the other way round?
Why is one created to suffer
And another designed for luxury?
Do they have a choice before birth
To choose their destinies?
Are there circumstances in the spirit world
That determines their paths?
Else how is their destinies assigned?

Do we consider this fair?
If not, whom do we query?
I seek answers
I need answers.
