UNDESERVING MYSTERY

Awards
What are they?
Plaques of wood or plastic
Or graphics on the net.

Why do people cheer?
Why do they get excited?
Is it more than a pat on the back?
is it better than
A paycheck in the bank?

In giving them out
Some get excited
While others wonder
Why they didn't get one.
While others figure
They will never get one.
