Peasant,
Walking next to a king,
One has nothing,
The other has everything.
Birthright.
Was it really fair,
When it gave one the right to rule
While the other one has to be its mule?
Syrian,
Walking next to an American,
One has been displaced and cannot go back,
The other has a home, a car, and no lack.
Birthplace,
Was it really fair,
When it gave one the opportunity for a good life and success,
While the other had to fight, lost everything and has been oppressed?
Actaeon, a Greek hero,
He was a hunter who accidentally saw Artemis, the goddess of wild animals and childbirth, bathing,
For him that sighting was unfortunate,
Artemis got upset and her attack on him was scathing.
She turned him from a hunter into a stag,
His own dogs chased him, then ate him,
And all this happened quickly, without a tiny lag.
Time and place,
When you’re assigned the seat in the great story of life,
Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you have to brace.

Is it fair? Of course not.

No, it is not fair. But somehow our societies managed to push forward skewed definitions of “fairness” that, we take at the face value .

I never could understand how the term “trickle down economics” could be openly expounded by the ruling class to the 99% who just accept it.

Because it’s always from up to bottom, and rarely …when the bottom cannot take it anymore, from the bottom up 🧐

Rich in wealth should be rich in thoughts also. Poor in wealth doesn’t make you poor in thoughts.
