Unfairness Poem

The world isn’t fair

I’ve heard some complain

The injustice in the world

Could drive a man insane.

Some are paid unfairly

Others disrespected

While others who don’t deserve it

Are constantly protected.

Racism runs rampant

Thought those days were past!

Hatred is the only thing

That most people think can last.

Death and taxed are certain

But is the unfairness just as sure?

How much more can common man

Be pressured to endure?

Those who need medical help

Are denied it every day.

Then those who are hypochondriacs

Know exactly what to say.

Male assistants are hired

At a higher rate of pay

Than those whom they work under

If it’s a woman of modern day.

Murders get off Scott free

If they are attached to fame.

While citizens with minor violations

Get treated the exact same.

What happened to the class?

The respect we all deserve?

Should we all just stand and take it

As they grind at our last nerve?
