Fair

Tell me whats FAIR
let your words be true
in a world filled with hate
I'd save my breath if i were you

One's word can't be FAIR
if one's tongue is split
a simple hiss of a lie
in this world is a even fit

with out further ado
my message I'm trying to say
was never meant to cause harm
but the truth can dismay

take a close look around
a child reads what was wrote
a small tear resounds
her mother hangs dead holding a note

whats FAIR is FAIR
isn't that the truth
dunno about you
i see the devil pulling the strings in this puppet booth

looking at the world around you
so tell me whats FAIR
welcome to hell
think they still care?

    ^^ i am currently disagreeing with a lot of people, and the last line made me think of all of them. how they don't want to hear what i have to say...and it was hard to read. i felt like i was being yelled at myself.

    ^^ this stanza is great. i loved the third line, i could almost hear the hissing....

    ^^ ahh! you used ado!! for that, you're wonderful. lol. i love poets who use words that aren't as common as other words, simply because it's a challenging thing to do and not enough people take the challenge *myself included*

    take a close look around
    a child reads what was wrote
    a small tear resounds

    ^^ this made me want to go find a little kid and hug it...that's so sad and bitter and realistic. this speaks volumes of our society and how easily we give up and leave those we love behind us.

    ^^ ouch. that's all i can say. i loved the last line...just ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!! bitter..

    ^^ again, that last line brings hot tears to my eyes. it's such a strong ending.
    no. they don't care. they could care less...they're so wrapped up in their own worlds.

    overall, wonderful poem. keep up the amazing work.
