Unfair, Unfair

Children are the connoisseurs of Fair,
www.inkity.com
A shirt design that fit this.
sniffing out what they perceive as slight,
bloodhounds in disguise, discerning vague
or mild discrepancies, they ferret out the falsity
in what they're told or what they see with all
the righteous indignation of astonished Deity.
Justice must be served when scales are tipped
in their direction. Ignored, perchance,
when just the opposite is true? Construed
as giving them just one more chance, or
letting them slide by with promises of
future holiness, their standards are
appropriately high for teachers, parents,
and the like, with room to grow
for mirrored standards of their own.
