Winners Circle

If life was a horse race it would be more fair But it’s a sloppy track You don’t get a starting gate Use what you have and run like heck Fight for the rail and hope you’re not the one who falls Better not finish last or it will be Your fault No matter where you started. If life was a horse race it would be more fair Handicaps would be measured And equality ensured, strictly enforced Each participant would be well fed And have a clean and secure place to sleep Not to mention clean water And medical attention Guaranteed to these horses As it should be! In order to avoid the outrageous cruelty Which is ignored when humans live in poverty. If life was a horse race, it would be more fair And that would be unthinkable.
