Unhappiness

UNHAPPINESS Days go by And I in my unhappiness go on also Friends are sick My wife and I Each have our pains and our ailments Violence and cruelty take innocent lives And bring injury to others We are hated by strangers we do not know A sense of threat of our destruction is always with us The weather is worse than before Fanatics everywhere rule and murder We have no clear promise of what the future will be Old age is difficult and sad There is no way I can make it all alright For most of it is beyond me I will leave this world With so much unresolved and unknown I cannot possibly be at peace with it all I go in my unhappiness.
