Privileged

Imagine, if you will, the world is fair.
Dice come up even, cards are shuffled well,
And chance is always equal everywhere.
For some of us, this world would be a hell
Because we are so used to other ways.
If every card you've drawn has been a king
You'd curse a hand of deuces or of treys.
It's natural. It touches everything.
The larger problems start when we assert
That others' decks have dealt as ours have done
And they have simply chosen to invert
Their fortunes: when we think that everyone
Has had the same as we have. They have not;
Nor is it always fair what we have got.
