Man's Attempt at Justice

sorenbarrett

Our children we must protect

Don’t let their feelings be hurt

All competition is highly suspect

The weak might be left in the dirt

T-ball doesn’t keep track of their score

Unimportant are losses or wins

Every child gets a trophy for sure

To be better than someone else is the worst of sins

All games should end in a tie

One knows that games that are closest are best

If wining was impossible betting crimes would soon die

And instead of watching the Super Bowl one could rest

I’m sure all of your children’s bosses will be fair

They will never have to compete for a husband or wife

I’m sure that for them everyone will care

If no one else, the government will take care of them for life

Do not discriminate by grading children in school

Every one of them a chance deserves

So what if your surgeon was the class fool

Or the one that failed health class makes your strawberry preserves

Hire a dyslexic broker your portfolio to maintain

Put one that failed chemistry in charge of your medication

Choose a blind pilot to fly your airplane

After all that’s how we pick the leader of our nation
