You Ask Yourself Today Poem by RIC BASTASA

we look for patterns of success
and we look at their lives
those who made it
to the top
and those who amassed what fortunes
are there
on this earth available to all those
whom you think
deserve

the efforts and strategies
the patience and hard work

you find yourself without a dime
homeless and
deprived

there are not patterns
not even luck

there are only those who are there and do nothing
and yet they get all

fame and glory and fortune
you ask yourself today

what have i done to deserve all these?
God has no answer.

kneel and just pray.
Your fate will always be yours.
