YES BUTTING

 

                        

 

        I hear your pain, my friend. 

        You do seem stuck.

        With every effort thwarted 

        you're depressed. 

        Yet, while you blame 

        your fated, lousy luck        

        you veto 

        every option I suggest.

        You either have a god 

        you must appease

        who seeks to do you ill 

        at every turn

        or else 

        each time you do 

        just as you please

        creates a consequence.

        It's what you earn. 

        You cannot change the past 

        although you try.

        You cannot change the weather 

        or your lot.

        You cannot take 

        because you haven't got.

        You cannot win 

        because you rage or cry.

        You whine, 

        yet seem invested in your mood.

        You have the strength to change--

        your attitude.
