......of despair.

To know misery

to live in misery

to die miserably

all the while

denying the means

of inexpressible cheer. 

if it wasn't for them

if it wasn't for him

if it wasn't for her

If, if, if ,if and if only!

Let us go here

let us go there

let's do this

let's do that

let us have fun

they seek that which

they ignorantly 

despise and dismiss

He shall flee

though nothing

pursues him

he shall feel his guilt

and yet deny

any form of reproof

he hates the reprover

with pure hatred 

He witnesses death

he lives in the fear

of death 

and yet he denies

his own mortality

and the wages

that he is due.

He continually sighs

he often asks

why me?

what have 

I done

to deserve this?

He never waits

for an answer

he is swift to flee

yet he cannot flee

nor shed the spirit

of despair.
