'Fairness' Poem by Ronald Clark

Life is long
Filled with narrow roads
With shortcuts leading nowhere or somewhere
If only we could follow the narrow roads
To authority and power
To riches and fame
Be the few who make an honest, good living
The men who die after living happy
But for the those men who take the shortcuts
They who suffer each and every day
Then die without without faith and without actually living
Let those men live, just those men, live again
