Life Is Not Fair

A boy in our county passed away last night

I didn't know him, but I still cried

What force was compelled to take the life of a guy

Who was less than a whole year younger than I?

He was thirteen, just into the eighth grade

Riding around with his dad after a quiet Saturday

Something happened to the car, and the boy went

Out the window, across the pavement

They responded to the call

But they can't do it all

It was too late

And the boy met his fate

That could have been me, or one of my siblings

It could have been my friends, or anybody

Let his story remind all of you people out there

That you are not in control, and life is not fair

Author's Note

... His dad made it, but now he gets to face something so much worse, I couldn't even imagine.

Guys, life's too short to be mad at people, or sulk because things aren't going your way.

Let this remind you that you need to take every trial and turn it into an adventure, take every mishap, make it a story. Don't wish your life away. And don't take each day for granted.

in times i say life isn't fair, I learned that Life is full of it, a challenge along the long long journey we partake...its just a matter how we handle it..

What's fair is ethics. Ethics is an invention of the cereberal cortex. What happens in real life, IE nature is neither fair or unfair because it happens in the randomness of three dimentional space and time. The truth is s**t happens and most of the time there is no reason.

i dont know about ethics, life happens in small or unexpected reasons, its a cycle that goes round and round, even randomness has a reason behind it right...I like your view my friend.

I can imagine the pain you are going through. Sure, you may not of known him, but the shock is enough. It could of been anybody.

A classmate of mine died in Nov. 2011 from texting and driving. You just never know how much time you have....

Keep doing what you're doing,
