Metaphors and analogies
 Comic plays and tragedies
 Miracle cures and man-made disease
 Sealed with handshakes and apologies.

 You couldn’t tell an ancient shaman 
 From a clown selling snake oil remedies
 Observing you see much in common
 Debating the pain as you burn or freeze.

     You chose the wrong path long before today
     Fame and fortune have gotten you this far
     Felt you deserved the status and glory somehow
     But no amount of luck is going to help you now.

     Family and friends give you all you ask
     Generations of wealth demand compliance
     Doors opened easily for a wink and a bow
     But no amount of luck is going to help you now.

     You took all that your power would allow
     But no amount of luck is going to help you now.
