This Is How It Is

For success many people with each other compete
To be the best in business or the best athlete
To be the best artist or writer, scientist or engineer
Only winners are toasted in champagne and beer
People compete with each other for university degrees
Such things that do not bloom like the blossoms on the bushes and trees
And though losing is a thing anyone does not choose
For one for to win others do have to lose
But this is how life is and how it always will be
For every millionaire so many in poverty
In every suburb and on every street
Every day for success people with each other compete
For every billionaire there are millions in poverty in the Human World of today
This is how it is and it will always be this way.
