Sadness abounds
and hope is missing
in a broken world
full of nothing
but heartache
and tears
—rejections abound—
it's suddenly all about
the coins in one's pockets
and not on the joy of the
quiet nights by the beach
—I know now—
that's how it is

Where is happiness in
a soul full of tension
issues, and the thirst
for something nobody
can and will give
—death and ruin abound—
was this really that it
means to be human?
There's no respite
—problems are an endless race
to wear down the best runner
—I know now—
liberty is gone and
peace has faded
—that's how it is
