Hard Work & Class Clowns - A poem about choices

Everything's a joke 

but you are the biggest fool

you see everybody laughing

but they're looking right at you.

If you were remotely clever

you'd be giving it your best

while you are wasting time

they are acing life's test.

You look down on all my choices

and my cosy busy life

when you're begging in the street

you'll see luck is but a lie.
