Banish Fair: a poem



Banish Fair


It is not fair, for fair is conscious

And this is simply chance.

No emotion, no sentient being to blame

Try not to claim that you don't deserve 

This.

You don't deserve this.

Your merit is no part of this, this is

Simply statistical chance.

A roll of the dice. Now;

Banish Luck. 

For the lady is only smoke and mirrors

And she can set you down in your comfy chair, leave you

Static, cursing the gods,

The fates, the muses, the near impossible 

Odds of the national lottery and your

Rotten bad luck. 

But my word. What power you have.

What life, what love, what

Incredible, wonderful beauty is within you. 

Claim those fires.

Who then needs luck?
