Best Fairness Poems
Listen up, y'all! I've got a vision to share
Of a world where corruption doesn't dare
To rear its ugly head or show its face
Where justice and fairness set the pace
Imagine a place where bribes are extinct
Where honest work is the only link
To success and progress, can you see it?
A society where truth ain't something we cheat
In this world, the powerful serve the weak
Transparency ain't just some politicians speak
It's the air we breathe, the water we drink
The foundation on which we build and think
Creativity explodes when fairness reigns
Innovation bursts from unfettered brains
No more holding back, no more fear
Of speaking truth to those who should hear
Education blooms like wildflowers in spring
Knowledge is power and everyone's king
Science advances, art transcends
In a world where corruption meets its end
Meritocracy's not just a fancy word
It's lived every day, seen and heard
From the streets to the highest office
Where leaders serve, not harvest profits
Picture courts where Lady Justice ain't blind
But sees clearly with an impartial mind
Where the scales tip only with the weight of truth
Not the size of the wallet, you feel me, youth?
In this brave new world, we've broken the chain
Of systemic oppression, of ill-gotten gain
Every voice matters, and every dream can soar
In a society that's fair to its very core
Businesses thrive on innovation, not manipulation
The government serves the people, not some corporation
The media speaks truth, unafraid and bold
A new age of enlightenment, a story untold
But this ain't no fairy tale, no pipe dream
It's a future we can build, a possible regime
It starts with you, with me, with all of us
Standing up for what's right, creating trust
So let's rise, let's make it real
This corrupt-free world, it's our ideal
Where justice flows like a mighty river
And fairness is a gift we all deliver
From the ashes of greed, watch creativity rise
A phoenix of progress, touching the skies
This is our time, our moment to shine
In a world where justice and fairness align!
Let's build this utopia, brick by brick
Where corruption's absence makes innovation tick
A creative society, fair and just
In our hands, in our hearts, in our trust!
in today's very modern hi-tech world
good morals don't matter anymore
you see why the world's such a mess
morality treated as rubbish left on floor
throughout my life I've tried to
be honest always with everyone
when you do you receive respect
people come to you they don't run
Truthfulness is such a rare commodity
in a world where lies seem to lead
be truthful always and at all times
fill your mind with God's truth so to read
So much injustice around in society
unfairness is so prevalent to abound
try to be fair in our relationships
then more good friends will be found
Honesty truth and fairness
keep them in your top pocket
hold them close so skintight
secretly hide them to lock it
Because we are so human,
It is important to realize,
that it is more important to try to be fair,
than always reaching that lofty goal.
After all,
"Ye without sin, cast the first stone."
life favors the rich
and despises the poor
but if life's for all
then why not share
the bread equal
Liberty is not a synonym for ravenous self-determination.
For every freedom to grow
there is a reciprocal freedom from incursion.
When our individual or national purpose
reduces self-with-other mutual determination
and reiterative processes of evolving redetermination
down to autonomous libertarianism
as freedom from infringements,
then our pursuit of happiness
is no longer concomitant with our hopes for growing health,
and our pursuit of wealth-hoarding freedoms
becomes idolatrously removed from unifying roots
of equal democratic liberties of and for all,
freedom to optimize wealth of health,
happiness through mutually nurturing freedoms.
Selfishly autonomous determination,
articulating cause for self-justifying violence,
delineating causes of nationalism's self-without-other exterminations,
is not the original intent of democratic healthy purpose,
is heading toward monoculturing degeneration instead,
the opposite of multiculturing regenerate freedoms
to pursue our mutually optimizing wealth
of health.
Beware economists and politicians who speak of growing freedoms
yet remain silent about both personal and public prerequisite investments
in history's nondual development
of healthy wealth
as wealth for regenerating health
of multi-generations.
Beware of those who advocate your freedom
to self-optimize,
freed of cooperative mutual tax investments
while hiding our collective responsibilities
to cooperatively own healthy authorities
for recycling Earth's most deeply resonant integrity
of health-wealthing democratic values,
Yang's ego-centric freedom to love
Yin's eco-centric freedom from oppression,
suppression,
repression,
depression
sunk by patriarchal hubris
of anthro self-determination.
Pursuit of global liberty
is not a safe cover story,
much less a synonym,
for self with other interdependent determinations
of and for cooperatively growing wealth,
further investing in Earth's culture of integral health.
Elitist pursuits of self-determination
disguised as synonymous with complex freedom networks
thrusting anthro-authority over eco-responsibility,
has brought us to this precipice of climate pathology,
and not shared integrity
of healthy global climates.
Alone he stood against the many,
A towering rock of integrity,
Unafraid,
Uncompromising,
Determined
To fight, in the name of his friends that
Victims, of certain people and their devious
Plans, have fallen
Ready was he to struggle against this
Group* of people and the
Injustices committed, till things change
For
He knew, in his heart of hearts, that
The forces of:
Good
Justice
And of virtue, stood by his side,
Stronger by far
Than
Any of their deceitful conspirators and
Their evil schemes to support inequity
For
To glorify the group's contemptible vanity, ,
Remaining
Indifferent to the suffering they inflicted,
Upon
All those who their trust, had put, in them,
Expecting a fair play!
Shame!

Seek Fairness and Love
Seek ever toward the fair
fairness in all you do
let life birth joy in you
gift you seek to ever share
Stand firm in opposition true
let honor be your great shield
moral principles never yield
wisdom that should stick like glue
Honor the rights of others
wisdom from fathers and mothers

Note:
The above poem was my poetic reply to my
friend Peter Duggan on his recent write
-This poem is here to stay--
My reply to that fine write by him is
too long to reply in comment section there.
My long reply:
This is a fine write of a honorable poet
bearing his soul for all to see!
I mark you very high my much admired
friend for adhering to that which you
feel is right. We all should do that.
As to how internet forums operate ,
popularity sells, it is just a fact.
However, I fully agree that contest
sponsors should desperately seek to be
fair .
Only one way can that come to
be. That is for admin here to set the
regulation that all member contests be
judged --BLIND--TRULY BLIND. They could
set up a system in which every new poem
written for a contest goes directly
into the contest and not out on the open
board. Sponsor could then have no way to
intentionally or accidentally come
across poems on the open board and
discover the author.
I have now poems in contests that are
ongoing but from this day forth will only
participate in contests where the
sponsor sets a regulation that no names
be attached to the entry. And any poem
violating this will be instantly
dismissed and not judged--with no
exceptions to this rule allowed. That
would remove majority of favoritism
and only poets contacting sponsor
directly telling what entry is theirs
would overcome it. I think to remove
even the possibility of favoritism
something addressing it in a meaningful
way should be incorporated here. When we
have honorable people speaking out like
this I know it is not just sour grapes..
Are we more than just poets!?
Are we people that seek fairness above
our own ego's?
I hope and and pray that we are..
If this gets me shunned --so be it...
I must speak to honor first IMHO...
I'm drowning in it
Drifting here and there
All this emotion
A life of chaos
But who can I tell?
They will not understand
How do I explain?
I'm drifting in an ocean
Anchored down by a mere thread
An unreliable chain
That I wish I could just break
I want to be washed away
Yet so many want me to stay
But only if I hide the true side of myself
And protect them from this incredible mess
You are a jackal dripping
A childish cotton candy concoction
From your canine teeth
Though that may be unfair to jackals
Less clever and more desperate,
You are more like a hyena
It's just that it sounds like "cackle" which reminds me of you
Which is how I got there
Really though you are more like an insect
That I have instinctively come to loath
With evolutionary fervor, a lesson
Learned by students in classes that I skipped
A bug of an insidious genus that cloaks itself
In motherliness then tramples its young unknowingly
Not even taking care to savor their meat
Nature is too elegant too intelligent to craft a creature like that
So I will set traps knowing that
You can't beat the house but
Each one of your drones I kill will
Be a tiny Independence Day
Civilizations used white to mitigate the lack of black.
Black is not just skin color but also a human spirit.
Imagine indigenous people having red skin plaque!!
While things seem disastrous, it is just painted on it.
Civility will be total only If all races are treated fairly.
Thus, do not squander your life if time runs limited.
Not the same as 1960s; CRT has no sign of diversity.
CRT prep does not contain a notion of finitude.
Light exposes everything in some way or another.
The sight of a wacky mind is preferred above others.
Superior words develop at the moment they recover.
There is no compelling reason to blame our ancestors.
Nature will piddle it happen if she so discovers.
Life develops for its own durability.
Shaded Earths mutate regularly.
To preserve impartiality, we should be blind.
For exploring, notice the hues of parental rind.
Our fragility leads to family growth progeny.
It is plausible to identify prominence.
When do we have complete awareness?
People are forced to crack without food. ?
Without the deemed necessary mood.
CRT is a crucial forerunner of our world's drooping.
And we're all equal; all have the endowment to evolving.
The modern age is replete with hate; thus, let's end it.
Let's not fail to renew forgiveness to the world's past.

Love lies in mother's pure anger;
Enough is in store in her hunger.
O' Fairness, fairness
Of thou I do beseech,
trifles of affection
bring hither to my reach
Not a kiss thou shall hold
to bring that darkling hour,
which blinds the eye
to passions quest
and lays our love to sour.
A hero is a genuinely born fighter
A hero does not fear death
A hero fears no danger
A hero is concerned about self
But also about the others
Who are fighting as brave soldiers
Deep below the sea levels
Deep in the hadopelagic gutters.
A hero is absolutely fair
A hero has no fear
A hero is a serious leader
A hero is never a backstabber
Occasionally, this word is misused
One should denounce the perpetrator
This beautiful noun should not be abused
By nobody or a narcissistic detractor
A hero is humble, essential
And super special.

As if time stops
on Santa’s knee

social status
not mattering
One time
children
are treated
fairly
Allowed
to dream
to hope
If only…

be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
try to invade my privacy
cage my harmony
nor enslave my mentality
be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
treat love cruelly
for freedom is sweet
sweeter than honey
and valuable than money
it is priceless
and every one needs it regardless
be fair ,be fair
and don't you dare
you autocrats, aristocrats
bureaucrats who pretends
to be democrats
be fair , be fair
and don't you dare
for even the tress
waive for freedom
anytime the air blows
and the fishes in the sea
cries for freedom
anytime the water flows
even the birds fly
in the sky
saying be fair, be fair
and don't you dare
