Just Now Seen

 The waves always

Return

To the shore,

 

Mother birds always

Come back

To their young,

 

Drinking water always

Turns

To rain water,

 

All-mighty God always

Helps

Those in need,

 

Dead souls always

Are remembered

By loved ones,

 

But

 

Justice isn’t always

Served,

 

Babies don’t always

Live,

 

Life is never

Fair,

 

And

 

Happiness is never granted.

So plainly oblivious to all, so obliviously plain.

This got me at the first line, each stanza is equally intriguing. The end really sums everything up. Well done!
