Fair

There was a boy,
whose life was lucky--
With his innocent smile
and words so smooth,
Whatever he wanted, granted;
whatever mistake done, forgiven.
He never thought
about other people's
feelings
but his,
yet his life was happy.

There was another boy,
whose life was unfortunate--
With his creepy smile
and stutter as he spoke,
Given his best, unappreciated;
Made a mistake, scolded.
He always thought
too much about
other people's
feelings
but his:
Oh, how sad his life is!

Such is life:
Only fair
to those who are
born lucky.
