Is It Luck Or Fate

Is it luck or fate that carry you thru?
Do you always win, whatever you do?
Do you fail no matter how hard you try?
Does that drive you to question, and ask why?

Some people are born with a silver spoon
Others are born in a crowded dank room
While one is handed their path to succeed
Others pushed back by poverty and greed.

It’s not fate or karma, tho some think
Or dumb luck that brings you to the brink
But I say, ditch that dark cloud overhead
Vow to build yourself a new path instead.

Luck can be had with determination
But life is grounded in education!
