The Misery of Life!
Clusters of words, faces, grids from all kinds
What is life about, how much is wasted?
More questions, no answers, all saturated
Where to go, what to do, so many ideas
Frustrations, aches, aging and many fears
Walls of pain, dark and shadowy lanes
Every one just out for their own gains
What happened to the sweetness of love?
Why can I not even feel any from above?
Life became one long dark and lonely road
Full of fear, spent time, a huge and ugly load
The memory of wars all fought, all sorrows seen
The gusts of winds long gone as if never been
The missing ache of a child newly gone
The shame of what for him had not been done
Our few joys too little for any happy change felt
Only bittersweet acceptance of this life we have been dealt.
