Lot rhymes with not... who would've thought
None will improve your lot If you yourself do not.
- -- Bertolt Brecht, 1933
In other words,
we are all in it up to our necks and all by ourselves
So much for fraternity...
No wonder so many will be lonesome... tonight
and on most other nights...
Alas, some will take this notion and run with it
... in the wrong direction.
Validating their alleged "right" to be selfish,
proud, egotistical and too overtly ambitious
all the while "improving their lot" - while
steamrolling over everybody else. :(
Not what Mr. Brecht meant there, guys... ;)
