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.
