Because Trouble Don't Last Always

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.
