Death is fair, life is unfair

It is not a large clue
for the collectives blues 
to come from the tools of grim news.

We spoke to authors and speakers
to speak on all who expire
for death is fair, but life is unfair.

He and she, they and I 
know of a stars end 
and the hearts that burst of thy neighbour
and the rebel who rode into heavy metal
and the victim melted into the dirt.

Our lives are shaped by experience
but our ends are shaped by circumstances
yet we know
yet we don't wish to know.

It's not unfair to live but it's unfair to not have lived fairly before we die.
