Most are born healthy
some are born sick
some are born beautiful
most are not
some are born into wealth
most are not
some are born poor
many are fated with misfortune
some are fated to be murdered
some live nearly untroubled lives
why this universal inequality
why not universal equality
some say it’s karma
some say it’s random
whatever the reason
why this disparity
maybe it all equals out
in the afterlife

Bob Boyd
