Crab

A crab will think nothing of being in a pot as the heat of the water slowly rises.
Dont be a crab. Or a lettuce. But definitely not a crab.

Lottery. The system is rigged.

Centralization of money is never a good thing, yet lottery payouts are doing just that. Better to have 1 Multi millionaire or a 100 millionaires?

Why are the payouts so uneven?

First prize on the Euro Jackpot with odds of millions upon millions to 1.  19 million euros

Second Prize on the Euro Jackpot, with odds of millions to 1, 700 Euros ( lowest recorded )

Doesn't add up to me, only winning the jackpot will change anyone's life, 2nd prize is a week in Marbaya.

Do not share wealth. Naughty.

Chess

There are only a few moves worth considering in any one position, each with an infinite number of possibilities

Reaping and sowing

Ill tell a tale of corruption, treachery, deceit, blood thirst and lies. All of it rife and accepted, so long as it suits.

An ideology rotten to the core supported by a manipulative judicial system.

I try, I try, I try but I'm crushed. Suffocated by smiling faces that look slightly deranged.
There's no way out, the way is blocked, the common man guards this path,
Watching our shadow, case we find our way. or stray too close to a question of significance.
