Injustice

Injustice The rain falls on the slothful and the hardworking The accident of birth is where you land Poverty or wealth Education or illiterate Abuse or stability Want or abundance Opportunity or obstacles Violent murderers go free While beautiful children suffer abuse Illness ravages the young and the old alike Hunger overtakes Storms annihilate all in their path Wars take place because of powers that be Dictators destroy and powers control Ice-cream and cheesecake Are filled with multiple empty calories Winter seems to last longer than summer and spring and fall Systems designed to protect Fail miserably. The young die before their time People inherit bad genes Mental illness has very little cure Cancer is not conquered yet Only the strong survive Energy and vigor is wasted on the young And wisdom comes at the end of your life Injustice is all around us It cries out in the streets!
