Exist,
Die....

When human justice appears surpassed

Fear not…. as Karma in its own time

Will bite them on the a**e!...

 In the unfairness that ever is life, since
 Cinderella will never be wife, to 'her prince'

     She settles for average, ordinary shmoes
     Ditch the glass slippers ~ flip-flops, gnarly toes

Though hate and unfairness abound,
Let love and peace govern your life.
It can be hard but stand your ground.
And it’ll be useful in the midst of strife.

I try not to use expletives,
When I get in a stew.

Swearing is not ladylike,
It's not the thing to do.

Perhaps I am no lady,
Because all too quickly I find

When I see unfairness
These words spring into mind....

Behind cell bars, he
wrote that letter with wisdom... 
revealing his dream.

Desiring justice,
he condemned unfairness...
confronting evil.

Without violence,
He spoke loudly and clearly...
the Nation listened.

There is a stark unfairness in the fabric of our comings and goings.
It stings us like an immortal hornet,
Buzzing about with its pain and anguish,
Convincing us that Jesus is dead and soon we will join him.
There is a stark unfairness in the fabric of our comings and goings.
Oh Lord, come get me soon....

The ten most things that I deplore
the unfairness of rich and poor
wasted food in a hungry world
wars which left so many killed
animal cruelty in the name of fashion
pornography which has no passion
post card snow that turns to slush
the madness of the morning rush
poverty and starvation
but most of all, the greed of man...

Unstrung as the brave
Nonviolent in protests  
Questioning moral wrong
Unfavorable of unfairness
Extravagant in ideas
Supporting freedom
Taunted by the ignorant
Irascible over foolishness
Obsessed by cleanliness 
Nameless to the envious
Ambiguous in everything
Bountiful in blessings
Liberal in thoughts
Enthused by laughter...

I got pulled by sadness
      In a universe fulll of madness
      Surrounded by weakness
      Rainclouds and gloominess
      Made of poison and loveless
      So sad they were careless
      Nearly dying of emptiness
      People from thier past lives made for selfishness
      Earth is for unfairness
      Someone changing it has its rareness...

Aging poet,
let your last words
avenge your frustrations,
the unfairness of society;
still feel happy to create verses
that soothe the wounds
that want to heal despite hopelessness.
Do not mention your unbearable trials,
they are buried in the mysterious labyrinth,
where your lonely and weary soul
was trapped and yearned to escape...
step into the sunlight love awaits!...

Building things together is the best way to make changes,
Having partners every step of the way makes things possible,
Working together we can help transform,
Make thorough dramatic changes,
Where changes are needed,
We can accelerate, move more quickly,
Correcting unfairness,
Better understanding build-time,
And creates a better future,
Together we stand, divided we fall....

Adam was content to stay
where flowers bloomed every day.
And for an infinite span,
God sated the soul of Man.

Yet Man lacked self-awareness,
and God saw that unfairness.
A woman's daring was sought
to give Man free will of thought.

So Eve gave birth to reason;
and thought came into season.
Though Man found sin in her deed,
thanks to Eve, His soul was freed....

You can't dish out fairness like you do lollies,
As what is fair for one is not fair for all.

Sooner or later you will be dishing out unfairness,
As you try to please all.

Communities may be better judges of what is fair,
Than central government.

Red tape is an obstacle to fair,
And greed is another.

The best we can hope for is that
Those dishing it out show up to hear what others fear....

Building things together is the best way to make changes,
When you have a partner,
Each step of the way,
Makes every thing possible.
Working together we can help transform,
Make thorough dramatic changes
Where changes are needed.
We can accelerate,
Move more quickly in correcting unfairness,
Better understanding, build time
And create a better future,
Which is ‘The FutureNow’
What we do for others NOW will last....

Stevie told the truth because he was four
He did not know anything of deception or lies
His sister Monique was embarrassed,
she had said something mean about her friend
which Stevie had innocently repeated
Monique called Stevie a liar, and punished him
In front of her friend, retaining a friendship
But losing her little brother’s trust forever
Showing Stevie what lack of integrity looks like
His first taste of unkindness and unfairness...

The teacher gave gifts to those who were behaving.
Many other students pretended to behave
For about two seconds
Then they got loud, unruly, and disrespectful.
They began screaming at her
They were yelling about unfairness
They yelled that she had favorites.
They threw things at her head.
She did have favorites.
The children whose parents taught them respect
The children who behaved
The children who had home-schooling
Who can blame her?...

Bullies lose every time
Bullies can never win
Taking a country hostage
And its hard working citizens
Is a serious and outrageous crime
Calm down, being in rage
Over nonsense is unacceptable
Bullies are despicable
Peace is better than war
Let's raise the bar
To be better and less hostile
It's great to be humble and to have style.

I see how it is!
The unfairness 
The bias
The points
The favouring 
The list
The majority 
The inferiority 
The familiar 
The misinterpretation 
The misunderstanding
The attention 
The repetition 
The frustration
 The blocking 
The leaving
The watching!
The tricks
The system
The rules
The freedom 
The whatever 
The forever
Oh my head! 

Get off me you little bug until the next contest!

Should I speed my loving shafts, to see
them penetrate the blind periphery
of your happy unawareness,
Would you slam, with horror and with haste,
your portals of defence, with much distaste
at the wiles of such unfairness?

Or would those fragile barbs release sweet gall,
to rouse from slumberous state some answering call,
as one in sleep caressed -
Perfidious seeping of love’s wanton balm
to activate sweet turmoil in that calm
and brutal torpor in your breast....

Dead thoughts
Rotting flesh
Create living cages
creatures paraded on stages
Go to church, pay bills, working; a living fraud
Self-awareness begets Self-deceit a reflection
A mirror unfairness - mirror of defeat
The human condition kills
Historical shame
Worn out name
Myself.
To Maraud.
Go head for the hills
plethora of opponents
endless bombardment infinite myriad
Propaganda - now buying the bullshit leaders sell
Just another component in the universal machine called god...
