Life –
Passing by us all
Some try
Some fail
Some by deeds enumerated
Some by acquisitions agglomerated
Some by happy happenstance
Some because they never leave their house.
Some because they resisted touching their face.

Some because the education system worked in their favor
were taught they a basic understanding of statistics
Of those who trusted the experts making their best guesses in uncertain times.
Those are the ones who protected their families
Who put the safety of others before their summer holiday.
Stewards who suffered in a self-inflicted desert
So a few more people could live the collective dream.
