The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Chosen To Be… Dependent Upon The Uncontrollable In the perfect place, At the perfect time, Destined for glory, Destined for paradise, Born into this world, With no choice of my raisers, No choice of their wealth, No choice of my location, From birth until death, Told I was very fortunate, One of the very few, Who will experience such glory, Told I will be saved, If I believe in him, Told I will live eternally, If I worship him, Born into this world, With no choice of my raisers, No choice of their wealth, No choice of my location, Dependent upon the uncontrollable, We’re born into this world, All believing we are the chosen, Others damned for that beyond their control.

Epidemic Born with rights, With privileges, With money, With connections, Following in daddy’s footsteps, Career decided at birth, To take over the company, To expand the wealth, A maid to clean the house, A cook to serve meals, As you sit with a cigar in your mouth, Not having to worry about anything, Seven cars isn’t enough, Three houses is too few, Countless vacation days taken for granted, As others are hard at work for you, Small donations made to charities, To rid yourself of any guilt, As millions of dollars come your way, Ready to spend it on more junk, Downsizing becomes more frequent, As more profit is needed, Another boat is essential, At the expense of a family’s income, Born into money, Born into greed, Becoming epidemic, Just like those in shelters and on the streets.
