 UNFAIR

 

Do little kids feel unfair feelings
100 times more than fair feelings?
 
Do they kick their feet against their high chair
when they see the adults sitting at the big table?
 
Do they hate it when the older folks
can stay up and they have to go to bed?
 
Do they hate it when their face is washed
with the sink cloth and others use clean napkins?
 
Do folks get it when they see Les Miserables and Valjean 
goes to jail for 19 years for stealing just a loaf of bread?`
 
Did the people of Ireland make The Fields of Athenry
their national anthem because Michael is sent on a prison ship to Australia for taking some food for his kid.
 
Do we move from “Unfair” to “Fair” when we learn
to say, “Thank You” for all the blessings we receive?
