If Life's Unfair

IF LIFE’S UNFAIR

If ‘twas my lot to carry heavy loads,
I’m afraid, however, I will not refuse
to tread on to the roughest of roads,
and test the limits of my sinews.

If you can just choose, will you transit
only the roads straight and smooth?
Or will you brave the long winding route
that grants wisdom and strength of spirit?

If life’s unfair to you and me,
unfair to them and to many,
then life is fair, fair share of sore.
To life we must complain no more.
