The Birthright Coin Flip Game

Just flip a coin And you'll enjoy A newborn, bouncing baby boy. Just flip a coin And find a pearl A newborn, bouncing baby girl. Both born co-equal at the start - Co-equal with a heart, a mind, Yet differ as their lives unwind. Yes, down the lengthy road of life Through messages for roles we send Co-equal mostly seems to end. Abilities become obscure And with that fondest hopes and dreams Assigned disparate paths it seems. With such great promises arrayed To key the very start of things What cost by loss destiny brings. Co-equal at the start of life, Co-equal at the very end, It's years between time should amend. Then, what must take place after this Without in fact assigning "blame" In this unequal coin flip game?
