Maybe Life Is Nothing More Than Just Lottery After All So Be Lucky
Just maybe when it comes to life
We all of us may well be nothing
more than a number after all
Patiently both spending and biding
our time awaiting to see
If in fact our very own particular number
is to be eventually drawn or comes up
And as life is a total lottery some blessed
lucky certain individuals seem to hit the
Jackpot
Whereas the vast majority of others
find they have merely lucked out 1
more time all over and over again
And sadly it also seem to not matter or
depend either on whether or not
Who you are or what you do as a person
Be that whether you are or do good or
bad things
How intelligent what race or creed you
are
Sex you are male or female
How much money you possess or
poor you are
Not a 1 single thing you can do about it
or will ever change it
We are all just born and thereafter
assigned a number in this lottery
we call life
And why on earth certain individual
people's numbers seem to come up
and they are deemed blessed to hit
the jackpot
Whilst simultaneously countless others
perennially luck out
Well only god knows which I gather
will remain a total and utter mystery
Until or unless we die
And if death is supposed to exactly mean
death we die and we are therefore dead
Why would we then really care anyway
As finally our number has eventually
come up
And hopefully our very own happy ending
as well
Unless again unbeknownst to us our
number land's on black
And the only button in this here particular
elevator goes down not up
But at least we are in for 1 hell of a ride
If what we are lead to believe tuns out
in any way to be true
