Being Happy In Being the First

Happy the woman who is the first wife
Happy the son who is the first born
Happy the pupil who is the first in class
Happy the soldier who is the first in a pile
Happy the cow who is the first in a pond
Happy the demon who is the first in pardon
Happy the man who is unhappy
Happy or unhappy all is vanity
In this dangling climate-toxic earth
