The Lottery Game

Life is a lottery game,

Ambition is our ticket,

Focus multiplies our entries,

Time is the spinning machine,

A rotation represents a generation,

The winners name is selected at random,

Few consolation prizes are given in categories,

The rest become trash and deleted from the record.
