AT THE FAIR

.

.

IT'S NOT FAIR! said every child everywhere

They are correct

It's not fair - not nature, not the human heart, not fate

Yet we have the idea of fairness as something that should be

Where is this fairness that is lacking in nature, human ego and fate?

It is within our hearts and minds

We know fairness and unfairness when we see it

We feel the sting of unfairness when we are treated unfairly

This is perhaps the most hopeful sign that could ever be

That our minds hold up the jewel of fairness as a lens

Through which we see the world

We are moved by unfairness, moved to try and set things right

A god like power if ever there was one.
