It's not fair <br />- - - - - - - - <br />It's not fair <br />Miles and miles apart <br />Though to each other <br />We are so close and so near <br />To grow and take roots <br />A sapling needs soil proper <br />If bereft of fresh air and sunlight <br />In no time it may wither <br />And unless enclosed by a barrier <br />This crisp-frail bond may splinter <br />To see it grow to the fullest <br />Needs to be nurtured with manure <br />Free from weeds and pests <br />And to be suffused with water <br />And it's not fair <br />If there are no virtues <br />Like goodness, humility and care <br />Power and greed are weeds <br />Jealousy and anger are pests <br />Unless controlled they may eat up the plant <br />Indispensable is just as water <br />For the growth of a plant <br />So is required water <br />For nurturing relationship to better <br />Love and stream of love <br />Is nothing but we call it water <br />And it's not fair <br />Being so close <br />Yet we are miles apart <br />And forget virtues fair<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-not-fair-7/
