As We Will It by Smit

Equality is a lie.

Some are Kings and Queens, and others are starving men addicted to vice. Some are Olympic athletes, and others are pathetic bags of flesh. Some are the sons of powerful men- Senators, Congressmen, Presidents, Prime Ministers and the like. Others are worth little more than the pitiful wage they work for.

The lives of some human beings are priceless. Others cost less than a Happy Meal and one quick jerk of a machete.

What determines who you are, rich or poor? What gives your life value?

Some would say fate.

Some would say genes.

Some would say effort.

I say it is all three, God, and any other diety that you happen to believe in.

I say it is the dice.

Happen to roll all 6s? You'll live a charmed life, insulated from all worry. Yes, even those pesky #firstworldproblems.

Happen to roll all 1s? Enjoy your miserable short life starving in Sub-Saharan Africa, suffering from goiters.

So...won't you take a roll of the dice with me...?
