The World Will Only Be Fair if We Win

From playgrounds to parliaments,
From lovers’ quarrels to wars,
The terms of argument

Endure. No matter what sins,
What cruelty, what conquests
Humans visit on humans,

The claim is that the others,
Whether victors or victims,
Got better than was due them.

You started it. No, you did.
We have to make this equal.
We’re going to make this right.

Everything has to be fair,
And it will be when we win.
