Legacies

In an unhappy environment or sick society 

it's easier to live a lie 

and pretend to be someone to be admired 

tough and respected 

instead of being sneered at or intimidated 

for being fainthearted 

where your birthright is like a sweepstake 

with scant opportunity 

to be a successful capitalist businessman.
