Take A Chance On Inequality

The morality of gambling
should be less that it entertains
the great mass of the poor,
as week by week they seek
a wealth they can never win,
and more that the virtue
of gambling is how it disguises
justifying the rich getting richer
whilst it presents everyone
as 'having a chance', when chance,
and wealth, are so unequally distributed.

In that respect gambling
is nearly as consistently moral
a force in society as banking is.

Morality relies in justified poverty
for making opportunity for the few.
