Ailing Heart

At last I concede defeat in this facetious world The throbbing continuous pain, the rejections so cold My dejected heart cannot take any fouls The frequent liars the impossible goals Tasks undoable and words unspeakable Tight smiles ending in painful cheeks miserable Corporate positions held by inadequate persons Funding disappearing moneys untimely endings Alas my poor heart this charade cannot take This unhelpful futile existence of indeterminate stake Aid our broken world Almighty,dire straits have come upon us Where honesty and goodwill was found, is now filled with hate
