My own mother always taught me that fairness was a family value - I think equal pay is about fairness for everyone.

Battles of Fairness
Fairness?
To honesty, fairness is Fair,
To sincerity, fairness is Accuracy,
To integrity, fairness is Absolute!
To the law, fairness is JUSTICE!
To dedicated public servant
FAIRNESS IS MORE THAN A SALARY,
MORE THAN TEARS, MORE THAN JUSTICE,
MORE THAN SWEAT, MORE THAN HONOR,
MORE THAN LOVE and
MORE THAN JUSTICE.
But to the twisted society
FAIRNESS is
BEYOND DOUBT
and BEYOND
QUESTION!
I have no doubt,
I have no question.
The gavel is yours.
But...
you can't stop me

Delayed Justice...
(This poem is dedicated to Hollister #22.)
Delayed justice is better than no justice.
The world will always be round.
Facts cannot be altered; prejudice
Is a major impediment to reach sound
Justice. Justice is all we want,
Fairness is what we fight for,
Justice is what we cry for,
Fairness is what we want.
All lives are special.
All God's children are beautiful.
All colors are essential,
To make the rainbow normal.
Justice, Justice is what we want,
Fairness is what we fight for.
Equality under the law is critical.
Equal shade can only make the rainbow
More beautiful and more impartial;
No justice will always be a Big No, No.
Justice is what we cry for,
Fairness is what we want.
The world will always be round.
Finally, we can hear the sound
Of the bells. Justice is around
The corner; she is upward bound.
Delayed justice is better than no justice.

Tho I Cry
I cry for tragedy but never for sorrow
As I truly believe in the world of tomorrow.
I believe in you and I also believe in me
To believe in myself and what I hear and see.
I love my family, my God and my nation
I believe in a oneness that is in every human relation.
I believe in love, fairness, justice and trust
That these are the keystones of life, else we remain in the dust.
They are also four words as the embryo for the living scenes
Relationships that have corners of reality and also dreams
Life is to live fully and completely and be devoid of fear
Love is to have fully and completely, with those so near.
Fairness is to be smooth, equal and have no thorn
Relationships are to happen to join and even to be born.
Justice is for you, me but mostly for us
The final and most enduring word; is the sacred one of trust.

Justice is Just This
What is justice?
This unapparent fairness
Supposed to combine rather than divide
Just a word that likes to hide
This unapparent fairness
What is justice?
Justice, is between you and if you are righteous
And you might just be righteous,
But you don’t have the intelligence of the truths of real justice.
Justice, is merely impossible because we have created injustice.
And just this.
It may be a tongue twister to read
But justice is a twist of the tongue indeed
A twist of the lung, you can’t breathe
A twist of the fun, full of hypocrisy and greed
A fake term misused, abused of its creed
Our mouths say justice, but injustice is what we really speak
And just this.
What is justice?
This unapparent fairness
Supposed to combine rather than divide
Just a word that likes to hide
This unapparent fairness
What is justice?
Just a word, and just this.

Sonnet: Fairness Is Important In Life
One man can't be an Institution called;
One man can't do the work of many more;
One man cannot for others' faults be hauled;
One man faultless, cannot be shown the door!
Men want some fairness in all things around;
The same yardstick ought to be used for all;
One can't be left scot-free; the other bound;
The treatment's similar for any fall.
Follow all must, the rules that’s framed alike;
'Tis not to be relaxed for ones you want;
One can't shout loud; the other use a mike;
What does it matter, Elephant or Ant?
Progress can't come when partiality's rife;
Most important is fairness in our life;

Sonnet- Why Should God Love Me More?
Why should God love me more than a beggar?
Why should He prefer me to someone next?
Why does He give me errands much bigger?
His ways are strange and keeps me always vexed.
Where is God’s fairness when poor turn poorer?
Where is His justice when poor get disease?
Where is God’s fairness when rich get richer?
Where is His justice when Upright soon cease?
Yet, who are we to question the Master?
Our human eyes don’t see the way He sees;
He is the Giver and the One Taker;
He is the Omnipotent who decrees.
Let us not question all the things God does;
Lets do our duty without any fuss.

Sad But The Truth Is On
There are too many bold,
Sad but the truth is on.
And too may all-knowing for their teachers.
Sad but the truth is on.
And they say their teachers can't teach,
Or read, or write to them...
On their lowered levels.
Sad but the truth is on.
Sad but the truth is on.
Many never knew about a hug to touch.
Sad but the truth is on.
There's just too many needing loving.
Sad but the truth is on.
And they don't believe a lesson taught to them,
Reveals and begins to grow to show.
Sad but the truth is on.
It's so sad but the truth is on.
It's so sad about the truth!
The truth for so many has gone.
It's so sad to see it...
Nonexisting.
Sad but the truth is on.
It's so sad but the truth is on.
It's sad about the truth,
Today!
For so many that truth is gone.
It's so sad today...
That,
People sit back to watch it too!
Sad but the truth is on.
It's so sad but the truth is on.
Everybody's talking about a fairness.
But nothing there is fair.
Sad but the truth is on.
Sad but the truth is on.
And,
Everything once fair there is gone.
'Cause nothing in the air is fair there!
Everybody's talking about a fairness.
But nothing there is fair.
And,
Everything once fair there is gone.
Because nothing in the air is fair,
There!
Sad but the truth is on.
Sad but the truth is on.
Everything once fair there is gone.
Because nothing in the air is fair,
There!
Sad but the truth is on.
Sad but the truth is on.
It's a long and lonely,
Sentimental journey.
Sad but the truth is on.
Sad but the truth is on.
Sad but the truth is on.
Sad but the truth is on.
It's a long and lonely,
Sentimental journey.
Sad but the truth is on.

Hungry For Justice?
Justice system as told
Is made for the people
That will be a guiding light
To have fairness to everyone.
To the poor and the wealthy
The laws are the basis
To identify the violations
In the civilized society.
But is there sense of fairness
For those who are accused
By opening the leveling field
Regardless of economic status?
When the rich man is accused
Justice is intentionally delayed
Until the time will come
Case will be dismissed and forgotten.
I wish this is only a dream
And there’s no enough basis
That in our society
There’s double face of justice!
That upon waking up the truth
There are still many patriots
Who are fearless to reveal
The true spirit of Justice.

(Fairness Poem) Big Fat Goose
Someone must win someone must lose.
Catching the big fat goose.
Fairness, is belief that all things are considered equal.
Whether they are or not.
In a contest, a prize is given when a challenge is completed.
It is designed for someone to get defeated.
Does that make it unfair?
Rules abound.
Someone has to hammer them down.
A honest man given the chance would not be so honest.
Are those feelings of deceit because you were beat?
Or did someone actually cheat?

Same Weapons
The same weapons have been taught
To me and everybody that learns of war;
The ropes of tragedy are cut to the death,
Forcing climbers to admit defeat.
Jostling around the gym, a fool has deserved
Fame for what he did.
The warlike friend is a man of humans,
The gnomes are not armed, yet are fair.
How did the men of fairness achieve alacrity?
A rope has been mounting on the conscience,
One to climb and attribute to God.
