Hopeless Misery, a Sestina
Mind, body, spirit, soul, our society as a whole.
A look at the present life, beyond the misery.
Nothing is ever impossible, optimism is key.
Honest virtues improve spontaneously.
An Altitude of talent and wisdom exhibits utter greatness.
Sanguinity filled with laughter promotes greatness.
Fact separated from fiction developed through supremacy.
Riveting emancipation with a cold dusk day of beauty.
Never regret or refrain, never hold back on autonomy as a whole.
Alive and alert, good and well, to be and to see, confidence is key.
Yet the corrupt is easier to believe and people are placed to encourage misery.
