Only Privilege
We always feel entitled in life
That the world revolves around us
To have everything with no strife
The world bends to us, it must
Except that is not our right
We deserve is what we earn
After we work and we fight
This is what some don't learn
They think life is their's to bend
That they deserve strength and pride
But without work it will be their end
Fueled only by entitlement, they died
Our only God given privilege
Is the right to be happy
To pursue that ambiguous image
All else is earned ultimately
The good life is ours to pursue
No one allowed to stand in our way
Earning our keep is hard, it's true
But our right to life will never go away
Jessica
