Crying Alone Surrounded By Pain
If your life has been happy,
kneel down and be very thankful to God;
crying alone surrounded by pain
can only spread sadness inside and around.
Tragic was the life of Mary;
she wanted to be loved,
but her wish was in vain:
it ended when she died!
Who deserves happiness?
it's the decisions we make,
it's the challenges we take
that shape our tomorrow;
our race might be slow,
never settling for less!
Solitary and dull was the life of Andy,
who lived the length of his days to express
and show love in a fraternal and caring way;
he was wrongly denied affections
and crying alone surrounded by pain,
he built his actual world stone upon stone
based on uplifting wisdom to continue a journey
that many wouldn't have taken for uncertainty.
Who delved deeper into his brain...
until profound meditation was done?
Who hasn't celebrated another day
when fortunes accumulated
and acquaintances applauded?
Is someone applauding my saintly meekness?
I disagree because incognito is
applies to the one who has no riches to display;
study the life of the wealthy
and that of the indigent who sweeps
his miseries under a rug of invisible dust,
lest his hardships are greater than yours
and you'll be so ashamed to mention them truthfully
enraged by the events that caused them to burst
louder than big balloons that were meant for festivity!
If favor was given to you fairly,
honor it; if it was given unfairly,
reject it, you haven't deserved it with honesty;
I'd rather live with little, refusing gratuities
of any kind...not bristling the mind with idiocy!
Would it be better crying alone surrounded by sadness
and change the reflection in a mirror of unworthiness;
wouldn't it be more honorable to consider its liability?
