Was dumb luck the cause?

Was dumb luck the cause? 

...or just the case? 

Our ignorance of causality 
is that which we give the name to:

"Luck." 

To say it's the cause of anything 
is a bit of a fuck in reasoning, 

but who gives a fuck? 

The lucky do. 

They have reason for praise 
and gratitude of their own dumb 
ignorance, you see. How did I get 
it so good? For free! 

I don't know
I can't see 
I can't tell 
it's great! 

It is in the effect 
that all praise must be.

Or hate. 
For those whose ignorance 
doesn't break so well 
in the ways of Fate.
