Silver spoon, or no food on the spoon, <br />Well to do, or merciless goon? <br />Noon day sun, or midnight gloom, <br />What spells success, or imminent doom? <br /> <br />We are all the same, yet, not the same, <br />Black and white, what's in a name? <br />Born to live, or born to die, <br />Why do some laugh, while others cry? <br /> <br />If, in his image, we all are made, <br />Why do some prosper, whlie others fade? <br />Why are some chained, while some are free, <br />Does he smile at you, and frown at me?<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silver-spoon-6/
