[hometext] => Ain't None of it Fair
[bodytext] => I haven't submitted a poem in 3 years. I'm back!! ****************** So you worked yourself down to the bone With all those twelve hour shifts Spent every goddamn night alone With your back and knees all stiff "Can't anybody help me? Does anybody care?" Didn't your daddy tell you son? Ain't none of it fair. So you never found a woman So you never had no child So your life was long and boring And your youth was short and wild "Do I really look that worn out? Is that why they all stare?" Didn't your last girlfriend tell you son? Ain't none of it fair. So you never left your hometown And you don't know why you stayed So Uncle Sam took thirty three percent Every time that you got paid "How the hell am I supposed to get ahead, can't anybody share?" Didn't your senator tell you son? Ain't none of it fair. So you got yourself the black lung That classic backwoods song and dance Between the coal dust and the cigarettes Boy, you never had a chance "Haven't they found a cure for this? In China or over there?" Didn't your doctor tell you son? Ain't none of it fair. Maybe you'll find a way to beat this Or maybe you'll pass slow in bed Why the hell'd ya go to college? You'll be forgotten when you're dead. "I think I finally got it. I think that now I know. Ain't nothin fair in this life, but I coulda made it so."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
