Just Life

Some reasons why this life will never own me:
I see too many broad swaths of inequality.

Too much suffering owned by many, while the bills are clutched by few
Too much dying and pain and concern for "me" and not enough "you"

Too many people who go without for no good reason
Besides so we can feed our greed and amusement for a season

Too much waste on luxury while many need necessities
Too much focus on wealth and not enough on charities

Too much of my sinful nature shared by the population
Too many people waiting for God in the midst of tribulation.

Few things in life are fair, and fewer things are free
For every single smile, there are a hundred tears we never see.

The  reason why this life is often duty and rarely anything more,
Is because sin's taken so much beauty that life had long before.
