Some People When They Talk Of Life's Choices

Some people when they talk of life choices they tend to dismiss destiny
As if success to one should not be an obstacle  though born into abject poverty
Such people lack in understanding of people and lack in compassion and empathy
They may fancy themselves as great thinkers but this is not how they appear to me
They are not the insightful people that they make themselves out for to be
The child who is born in a war zone more likely to become a child soldier or a refugee
Than becoming wealthy and famous against such ridiculous odds
There are no such a thing as life's choices for the children of the lesser gods
The homeless street girl of the ghetto may give birth to a daughter or son
But the chances of that child becoming hugely successful rate at odds of a million to one
Some people do talk of life choices without allowing for circumstance
The child born to a homeless mother of wealth and fame stands little chance
But some when they talk of life choices they say such does apply to all
Such people are far from enlightened and in their thinking seem rather small.
