Winners And Losers

We live our lives the way we choose
And take the risks to win or lose
Life is a game, just a crazy game
Rules are changed but it's all the same.

Some have ambition and others have none
Life's chances are given to everyone
If a loser tries hard he can succeed
He must light the fire to ignite the greed.

It's the nature of man in his discontent
To strive for more till all life is spent
The world dictates that he must succeed
To amass much more than he'll ever need.

Princes and paupers they're all the same
What matters is how they play the game
Fame and fortune don't mean a thing
If the heart feels no joy in Spring.

We all must die the way we came
No claims to riches or pretenses to fame
What a man owns is what will divide
Murmurs of dissent begin at the graveside!
