Life Ain’t Fair!!

Poem Commentary

Only through pressure and the refining fire is a piece of coal turned to a diamond, fit to wear in the Master's crown.

Life Ain’t Fair!!

Life just ain’t fair.

But who promised that it would be?

Children’s maladies so indiscreet,

Leave us before they even got started.

 

I want answers.

But who says that answers will suffice?

Would an explanation provide comfort to the suffering

Who says with conviction, “Life just isn't nice?


I am so frustrated!

How can you stop looking at the clear blue sky

Or the Monarch butterfly

That lights so gently, then passes by?

 

I know life is neither fair nor just,

“It is what it is” and continues on, impervious

incapable of being affected by our objections.

Besides, tomorrow will come with or without us.

 

Humbly, take this moment you disdain,

This rare and irreplaceable opportunity

To let heaven’s love outshine the pain,

God's love is for eternity.

 

It surpasses our callous insults for the Creator’s

Seemingly slothful indifference,

And rises above our painful indignity of

Observations we cannot justify or accept.

 

Don’t give in to the dark side of hate,

Even when every fiber of your being can’t relate

Break through to the other side of fear and pain,

And you will be set free to truly love again.

That's really thought provoking. Yeah whatever we say God knows best and we must learn to accept the inevitable. Pray, patience and charity are through great tools which will help us to leave with peace of mind.

I LOVE THIS POEM: HAPPY TO REALIZE I'M NOT ALONE TO SEE LIFE AS BEING UNJUST AND UNFAIR; THE WORDS ARE SO FITTING AND ALL ENDED IN VERACITY!!!

Excellent uplifting write, rains on the just and unjust alike. Loved the observations and reasonings. 10

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
