It is not a race we choose to join
nor do we sign our name
it’s a pre-allocated selection
a lottery we play.
It’s a game we are destined
to be a part of from the moment go –
but for what point?
Who made the rules
and who’s the game master?
Where does the puppet master sit,
watching it all play out, the hopes and dreams
and fears and stress
of everyone, playing the game.
