Why Ask Me Poem by Francis Duggan

Why ask me something beyond me to explain
Why somebody's loss becomes someone else's gain
Somebody's financial misfortune becomes becomes another's opportunity
For to make plenty of money cannot say why this should be
For to grow financially poorer one never does choose
But often for one to win someone else does lose
For some it does seem life is like Murphy's Law
It all does depend on the luck of the draw
It is an ill wind that does not blow good for some as the wise one did say
In the Human World it is always this way
To live hungry and homeless in life should not be anyone's due
And that all people are not equal happens to be true
But that death makes everyone equal is surely not a lie
And the billionaire like the pauper eventually will die.
