"Life is not Fair" is a poem questioning some things in life. Things that puzzled me and I couldn't find any answers for them.
Why should a person leave his
friends?
Where all he wishes to be with them till life ends.
Why should a child live without his parents?
Where all his life is spent on the road bents.
Why should thousands of people die?
Where their beloved ones are left to cry?
Life is good when you are rich
But life is not fair when you live in a ditch.
How would feel when you’re evicted
From the home you always lived in it?
Why should the animals be used as furs?
Where they should be left to live in herds.
Why should the trees get cut?
And everyone’s mouth is being shut?
Why should a person be forced to leave?
And be kept away from heaven just like Eve?
Life is good when you are rich
But life is not fair when you live in a ditch.
How would feel when you’re evicted
From the home you always lived in it?
Millions have nothing to eat
Where millions are spent to cover your feet.
Thousands die each day
And no one has anything to say.
