Best to Be Born in the Middle

Given opportunities to flourish,

we human beings often do quite well.

If early in life we are malnourished,

neglected in the home wherein we dwell,

or shunned by others by some happenstance

of race, appearance, or proclivity,

then the slim ratio of choice to chance

may limit us to base activity

serving the interests of capital

and those who have been dealt the better hand.

We’ll hardly rest or take a nap at all,

while Techbro bros are living high and grand.

But the rich themselves are a sad riddle,

which is why it’s best to be born in the middle!
