How Fair


exactly how fair does it seem

to be put in this world with hopes and dreams

to use every day gaining possessions

telling lies, truths, and confessions

finding some miraculous things

giving others love and hope and rings

making relationships and getting an education

working at life every day, with no vacation

but everything that is put together

money, cars, or a bed of feathers

what does it mean when you go to rest

does it matter if you were worst or best

no matter what was done in life

whether it was gained, or lost in strife

nothing is brought with when life is done

the beauty of the world and rising sun

it is left behind, like the hopes and dreams

exactly how fair does that seem
