The light shines
And guides or blinds
The way is set
A back turned on the past
Passed regret
A marked heart
Bound to forget
Circumstance or chance
We all start the same they say
To justify the greed
When denying the need
Hate to help
A handout perpetuates
The cycle
The path
Is a thin line and
Quicksand doesn’t discriminate
Toss a coin to determine fate
Born too early or born too late
Not exactly born with a clean slate
