Some enter a world so unkind

Experience suffering of many lifetimes

Others yet from an outside view

Live content struggles are few

How and why such a balance as this

For what could be reasons

Such a difference exists

All we can do is ride out the storm

Maybe the lucky have storms of their own

All we can do is be the best one can be

Through all the indifference pride and apathy

You make the difference in all that you do

Just a thought to ponder you are special

For there is only just one you.....

enjoyed pondering your thoughts

and I believe we all have our own set of struggles to overcome...it does, however, sometimes seem like some people have a little more on their plate

enjoyed

I believe that reincarnation helps explain the inequality of birth. If all souls are created equal ~ and we were all to have just one lifetime, then why would one soul be born into an existence where they are deformed, underprivileged, beaten, unloved while another soul is born into a healthy life of love, beauty, privilege and opportunity? Just some of my own ponderings.

I also believe that many who appear to have a charmed life, may have some heavy burdens that may not be apparent to others. (Take me, for example! )

The American 'royal' family ~ the Kennedy's, may have had fame, glory, wealth etc. but they certainly have had their share of tradgedies, as well.

Like yourself, I have had similar ponderings but I have never expressed them as poetically as you have just done!

A fine, thought-provoking piece of pondering poetry!
