Life and Love are...

Come, grant me a moment of despair,
For life and love are never fair,
The good man marries a shrew
As most of them are apt to do,
The rotten Lothario
Captures a lustrous pearl,
Brings misery to this poor girl,
The Don Quixote
Is deemed quite funny,
While the crooked politician
Makes all the money,
For life and love are never fair,
If there be gods,
They just don't care,
Or better yet,
They were never there...
