Some Things In Human Life Poem by Francis Duggan

Some things in human life beyond me to explain
Why somebody's loss becomes someone's else's gain
It does not seem at all fair of this you may say
But then such is life and life works in this way
Losing is a thing anyone does not choose
But for one for to win someone else has to lose
Human life can be complex would you not agree
But suppose this is how it is and how it always will be
Life's winners and losers gives rise to human inequality
And few climb to the top branch of the social tree
In human life there can be inequality due to birth circumstance
People who not due to their own fault of success in life stand little chance
And why somebody's loss becomes someone else's gain
Is beyond an ordinary fellow like me to explain.
