No Fair Share

It shouldn’t irritate me very much,
but sloppy use of language hurts my mood.
I read “more than fair share,” regarding such
misfortunes as a chronic lack of food,
surplus of grief, and tragedies that touch
the soul attacking peace in attitude.
Of course a lengthy life contains a share
of bad, but there’s no quantity that’s fair.
