blessed are the lucky ones
when someone says they make
their own luck
I can only imagine how blatantly
foolish they must be
believing having control
of their own destiny
is actually possible by someone
other than the gods
for free spirits such as these
I hope they never
ever know
it’s just a matter of time
before they come to realize
luck has nothing to do
with their lot in life
nor their untimely demise

An excellent poetic truism (myth-buster even). Well done.
Thank you so much, Mike. Glad you enjoyed this one.
No it has little to do with luck… *hugs*
