I think he meant it wasn't fair
That we all grow old and die
Spending most of our lives
Between hating and fearing
A god so far away we
Don't even see the lines of his face.
At least, I hope that was
What he meant by
"There is no justice in the world."
I almost understood.
But of course I wasn't like that.
I argued.
Believing the world isn't just,
Or isn't fair, is to say there are good people
And bad people.
And some people should be punished,
And others should get good things.
To say the world is unfair is to judge-
It can't be done.
Before I call the world unfair, I look at me.
I'm unfair.
Or at least, it was unfair of me
To argue with him.
