But Don'T Despair

Despair, if you must – But how's it going to pull you through? Despair, when you trust Naught since then there's naught to do. Despair, should you thrust Aside your pride, your self-esteem. And so despair, if it's dust, The only substance that you deem. Despair, when a gust Of slightly breeze can break your stance. And do despair, when lust Is your interpretation of romance. But don't despair, if you can care About the plight of any other being. And you can focus on the help, Support, and altruistic further actions For the seeing. Be believing, As despair will start receding All around – simply since you found A way to steer you clear From this: the very cause of your despair! So give to others; give them all a helping lift: Despair, you'll find will disappear – And that has got to be a well-deserved And saintly gift!
