“Unfair”
The lens in which we view our long suffering
Are clouded with confusion is so frustrating
Retribution is a common assumption
Nice guys don’t finish last after all
They just stand longer when pinned against the wall
Does life really sound all out of tune
I guess that’s why we can’t learn to commune
Our hearts are the battle grounds for struggles fought
We can be treated justly at least that’s what I thought
As I recount the thoughts simmering under the surface
An ill-affected and belligerent world I can’t face
Is getting worse God help us for goodness sakes
Violence covers our children like a warm garment
Equality nowadays is beginning to be irrelevant
How can we as a nation fill these profound holes
That is deep rooted down in all of our souls
Is my faithfulness actually truly worthless
Like a stone tossed into a calm smooth lake
The rippling effects of failure I can’t take
In due time we will tie those lines that bind
At least that is what our ancestors instilled in our minds
We will continue to live a life full of despair
Unless we began to realize life is not always
“Unfair”
