OBSERVATION
Sorrowful, sad, demented are many,
Unhappy, miserable, blue.
No joy this life, to them not any,
Pitiful, tear rendering, true
Purposeless life, completely unwanted;
Incomplete ever, insensibly vaunted;
Disgusting, deplorable, bad.
Foolish these ones, forever unhappy,
Ignorant, disputable, nil.
Needless their wails, resounding so blackly,
Sickening, asinine, ill.
Mentally young, immature are they;
Skeptical, impatient, weak.
Agelessly blind, needlessly they stay;
Cynical, sarcastic, bleak.
Secular Joy, surrounded by are we;
Ecstatic, unshakable, found.
Heavenly life, consciousness can be;
Symphonic, perpetual, sound.
Unselfish Love, the answer is easy;
Repeatedly, pricelessly, true.
Joyous is Love, God-given us to be;
Marvelous, wonderfully new!
