No "Fair"

 

 

 

Dark and light, wrong and right

Up and down, day and night

Fish that swim, birds in flight

The world seems right; the world seems right.

 

Then balance sways, the tide is turned

Innocence lost, lessons learned

Blood has boiled, stomach churned

Now I've been burned; Now I've been burned.

 

My faith in others sadly wanes

My heart is locked with double chains

Each rainbow's dented, marked with stains

And so it rains; and so it rains.

 

The guilty flee while others stay

Dealt the blame, where no blame lay

How nice it is to walk away

While others pay; While others pay.

 

These days I find I just don't care

Forgotten dreams I used to dare

I go along, I breathe the air

There is no "fair"; there is no "fair".

Sometimes I just gotta' get things off my chest. For those of you that don't know me personally, recent events have made me a bit bitter (just a bit) and somewhat cynical. Don't worry, I don't intend on writing a series of angry poems...hopefully just this one. It's a monotetra in form - I tend to repeat myself when I 'm frustrated, so this seemed the perfect fit for how I'm feeling.
