On fairness in the world

If the world is a fair place then…

In this world, if life is fair;

It would be clear everywhere.

The standard bearer would be understood;

All would be governed for the greater good.

Black and white; vanilla and bland;

Prosperity reigns throughout the land.

A chicken in every pot

An automobile on every lot

We’d always have enough

Because we would all have the same stuff

Faith, hope and love. In God we trust

The supreme being does what He must

But…

Inequity is inherent in the design

Around the globe. Once and for all mankind

Texture, color and contrast is part of the masterpiece

Good versus Evil. For richer, for poorer. In war and at peace.

Prevailing winds and a warm breeze

Blue skies, turbulent seas.

Champions win at others’ expense

Sacrifice toil and a price so immense

A composition of love and hate

A tapestry of an earth that is great

Can we level the playing field?

Can we make a better day unfold?

Insignificant and small.

True it isn’t fair. It is not fair at all.  

Relative to each other, we can only do our best;

With choices to be made as we invest; 

Together on this tiny planet with so little time.

And so much on the line.

We can make it better while it seems unfair

Find a way to show each other that we truly care.
