Life

Life will not play fair
And everyone knows that
But some do not care
About life
So they live life to the fullest

What happens to them in four years?
Many things could happen
Like serving a life sentence in prison
Or become famous
And care about themselves

Others, like you and I
Are two completely different people
And we don’t even know each other,
But we both share one common thing
That life isn’t fair
And nobody can turn that around.
If we all think like that,
Then we all could help each other
Right?

What about the homeless?
What about the hungry men,
Women and children
Who can’t live life
And are a possible target
Of getting either raped
Or even murdered?

This right here
Is how life is playing,
Cause life isn’t fair
And there’s nothing to do about it,
Except for changing
And bending some rules
That life is playing.

So remember that
Life isn’t fair,
But you can still
Overcome if you dare.
