on a silver platter

what would you do if someone handed you everything
presented on a pretty silver platter?

would you take it without a second thought
or look at it and wonder why?
would you wonder what makes you worthy
or would you think this is easy, isn’t it?

would you wonder why you’re deserving
or simply know it’s yours because it is?
would you say you deserve more
or say that you didn’t even know it?

or would you turn it away because it’s not
something you worked for
and you don’t want anything
that doesn’t show the back breaking
you’ve done over the years?

or would you scoop it up
not realizing that no one has it that easy?
would you realize that people die
for a lot less than the more you get?

so what would you do?
