Paradoxically Happy and Unhappy

Shambling alone on the periphery of human warmth Shorn of friendship Ostracized from faith Limited in contacts to nuclear kinship Sausage-linked by an umbilical cord In aeons Saturated with discord In the darkness away from candelas lumens of neons Reduced to a bag of misery bones Away from feelings In war-weary zones Teeming with sleazy dealings Fed up with life Terrorized by famine Enveloped in knife led strife In portions of guanine In the DNA inherited From dotting parents I love Greeted and treated With respect on Earth and from above But, I feel so forlorn Although I pretend to be happy When on my own I feel within my soul so unloved, unwanted and utterly unhappy.

Well written and easy to grasp the message! In your words, I understood the despair of lack of spiritual ties with God.
