Lament
Lament not oh man, for everything is transient, heading towards death
Single negative thought can take you on a tangent, ruin peace, herald doom
Your negativity and lack of faith fills the environs, spoils happiness of all
Lamentation serves no purpose, a calm composure earns respect
You go on flights of fancy, cry over improbable, isn't it foolishness?
Past is unchangeable, future uncertain, wise live in present which is certain
Before you lament, give it a thought
Be the master of your mind, not it's slave
Show the world you can be positive and happy whatever may happen
