Fair Poem by Kim Senior

"It's not fair"!A remark I made so long ago, now echoing back from childhood
to this day. A reminder that life isn't always fair and especially so in those early years.
When in my enthusiasm andnaive optimism, everything seemed possible
until that is parents put me in my wrongful place, with Their limitations.
You'll fall!

Don't touch!

Be quiet!

Sit up straight!

You can't do that!

What will people think!

I'll tell you what I think, it's not bloody fair!
I started out with so many dreams and ambitions which now lay in heaps of derision.
What faith I had in I, no longer cares to chance for fear of failure promised by my elders.
And yet the spark is not entirely extinguished, I have children in need of encouragement. I tell them:

You'll balance!

Feel!

Speak out!

Relax!

You can do anything!


What do you think!

And finally.

Be fair
