Why Wait?

WHY WAIT? Why wait? The night is quiet Why dream? Life is nearly gone Why believe? Love is somewhere else Why hope? What is Hope that we should be mindful of it? Why live? What else is there but life? Why be what I am now Sad tired humiliated angry old? Why believe the night Is a new night And tomorrow another day And my eyes can still see Beauty And my ears hear Music And there are all those I love And who perhaps love me? God is Good God is Great I am old Forgive me for my sad embittered soul-
