2) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
It's what you face, when you complain, of adversity.
When things in life don't go your way, you get mad and pout.
Just like a temper tantrum there, in how life plays out.
3) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
Whenever stress affects you there, or some calamity.
Health, finances, other things, that cause stress and strife.
Everyone must deal with these, through every day of life.
4) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
So, let's reveal what these do mean, and end the mystery.
Fair's a call in baseball games, or a weather term.
Or September carnival, as the seasons turn.
5) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
In baseball, it terms pitch or hit, is fair, or foul, you see.
Ball or strike, pop fly, base hit, grand slam, or home run.
Walk, strike out, balk, something else, all part of game's fun.
6) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
In weather, it's for a few clouds, in the sky to see.
Calm weather noted, basically; whether day or night.
No rain, snow, or thunderstorms; in dark, or daylight.
7) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
In autumn, carnivals take place, with much to do and see.
The fair along the midway plan, of food, shows, and rides.
Rodeos, exhibits too, at the barns, inside.
8) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
Now, the second part of this, cliche' mystery.
Long ago there, Burger King, had their slogan say.
You order things just how you want, and ''Have It Your Way''.
9) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
Not everyone wants items prepped, the same way, you see.
Some like things plain, or extra things, or items removed.
For taste, or food allergies; preparing, there approved.
10) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
But, besides the things in life, it's also spiritually.
Many problems that exist, pronounced from sin's curse.
When mankind rebelled toward God, things went from bad to worse.
11) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
It's God's Creation, and His Rules, for eternity.
God gave our first parents there, one simple rule in place.
They broke it only once; and fell, from innocence and grace.
12) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
A curse pronounced on all creation, from sin's atrocity.
Earthquakes, fires, floods, tornadoes; each and every day.
Creation groans and travails, with sin's debt, to pay.
13) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
Thermodynamics second law, there of entropy.
Sooner more than later there, all is bound to fail.
And, it seems that good is gone; and evil does prevail.
14) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
It seems that all life here on Earth, is one of misery.
Before foundation of the world, Redemption's Plan in place.
Through The Cross, mankind could have, God's Amazing Grace.
15) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
The One who really would know this, more than you and me.
Creator of The Universe, Christ, God In The Flesh.
Like mankind in every way, but without sin, there meshed.
16) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
He came to die to give His Life, on a Rugged Tree.
He who knew no sin at all, His Precious Blood, would shed.
To give eternal life to those, who were spiritually dead.
17) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
He didn't have to take the scourging, pain extremity.
But, if He didn't love us there, He'd let all burn in Hell.
Then, the Lake Of Fire There, damned from Satan's spell.
18) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
No one took His Life from Him, He gave it willingly.
For the joy before Him there, He endured the shame.
And crucifixion on The Cross, He took all the blame.
19) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
But, on The Third Day, He Arose, there in victory.
For all who'd believe on Christ, who died and rose again.
They'd be with Him forever, as He paid their cost of sin.
20) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
Not going through the motions there, but with sincerity.
You can't fool The Lord, my friend; he knows your mind and heart.
If you truly trust in Him; He'll give a brand new start.
21) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
This life just a blip compared, there, to eternity.
Hell or Heaven, one of two, places when you die.
Depends if you repent of sin, and to Jesus, cry.
22) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
God has no pleasure in the death, of lost souls, you see.
He wants mankind to repent, accepting Christ as Lord.
For His Word is sharper than, any two edged sword.
23) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
Eternal kingdom, righteousness, full of equity.
If the saved on Christ are wrong, not much lost at death.
But, if the lost are wrong, much more, lost at their last breath.
24) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
What God prepared for the redeemed, mankind cannot see.
No more sickness, death, disease, or pain in Heaven's sky.
With the saved forever now, no one must say ''goodbye''.
25) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
After death, belief too late...you're in eternity.
For if you won't there, let Christ's Blood, your sins to atone.
You'll stand before Him in the Judgment, naked and alone.
26) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
It's appointed all to die, then judgment, is decreed.
Either at the Bema Seat, or at Great White Throne.
Either joy, or terror there; like none you've ever known.
27) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
But, God is a Gentleman, both to you and me.
All there have free will and choice, everyone must choose.
Salvation is a free gift, for Gentiles and the Jews.
28) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
One day before Christ, all will bow, there on bended knee.
It's your choice there to repent, and accept His Grace.
If you don't, you're terrified; when you see His Face.
29) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
Eternity of happiness...or torment, misery.
Which outcome will be yours, friend...there on Judgment Day.
At death, it's either Christ or you; your sin debt, to pay.
30) Life's not Fair or Burger King, though you want it to be.
What you do with Christ sets your eternal destiny.
Repent of sin, make Christ your Lord, you won't regret the choice.
You won't be scared when you see Him, or you hear His Voice.
