Lifes Roulette

Born privileged into great  riches
A pure  accident of your place of birth 
You won at life's roulette. 
No hunger pangs 
or a life cut short. 
you had an education, and a job that pays
No master race 
No grand plan
It's all about your dad and mam.
no privileged earned
just your rights at birth 
when you popped into this world.
those Right wing politicians
think they can pick who wins 
they put there money all on red 
and up came black instead.
