Because Trouble Don’t Last Always
Have you
ever had sour thoughts
that pickled
you mind
until you realized
brine times of life
had to be left
behind;
and then
you sought
lush cane fields
in which to rump
and wallow
and scream
in wholesome glee?
Indeed, pity on the fool
denied mordant
menacing moments
of gloom
devoured and transformed
by the sweetness
of happy times dawning!
Yes, to be sad is bad;
to not know happiness is worst.
