Injustice

Life never is and never has been fair

I ponder again, as I sit in this chair

Someone taking from this life so violently

We all walk around mindlessly

A child lies awake at night

Not sure what is right

He doesn’t know what went wrong

He just knows he doesn’t belong

A husband and wife start to fight

Unsure if everything will be alright

He lost his job and security

They feel so lost in obscurity

A lonely man walks down the street

Never looks up, but at his feet

People pass by and never notice

A life that’s lost and hopeless

A Soldier comes home from a war

Praying that his life would be restored

He has seen many things in his short life

It all remains in the midst of pain and strife

A rich man sits in his office chair

A life of riches full of despair

He thought money would make life right

It all needs to end, and it just might

Life never is and never has been fair

I ponder again as I sit in this chair

Someone taken from this life so violently

We all walk around aimlessly
