Unfair.

This is what happens when I start thinking.

If I can

Choose

What kind of soda I

Want,

Why are people

Dying

From unclean

Water?

If I can

Complain

About long lines at

Restaurants,

Why are people

Starving to

Death?

If I can

Cry

When I need a 

Shot,

Why are people

Falling victim

to 

Illness?

If I can

Choose

My own religion,

Why are people 

Being killed

Over theirs?

If I can

B***h

About my parents,

Why are people

Losing theirs to

War?

If 

We

Are all on this 

World

Together,

Why can't 

We

Act like it?

Those

Kids,

They're absolutely 

Correct,

When they say that

Life

Isn't 

Fair.

Author's Note

I desperately wish I could go back to being ignorant.

I am overwhelmed by the message here. Such a heartfelt poem.Though most of us would like to turn a blind eye and deaf ear to this, the truth remains:these dreadful conditions still exist.

[Maurice]

Ignorance is not always bliss.

Good poem.

[Talkativeted]

The repetition in this poem really is powerful. A wonderful poem. Ignorance is bliss they say.
