The Problem Is

The Problem Is Quickly we throw in the towel Like sheep to quail and grovel We think Problems is Nature And, misery is Human Culture We’re neck-deep in dire Need Accepting it like a noble Creed We believe Others know it all Ours is to knock heads on a wall We then stop to think or to try Hopeless a Pig will never fly! We sit a beggar’s bowl in hand “We’re the wretched of the land” We look up the blue Heaven For Bread that is not leaven! When we hunger we curse God When we sate we forget God. When we over eat to dysentery We cry and say: “God is angry!” * Greed light the Road we tread To rob others of scarce bread We are drunk and stop to think When in Love our Hearts sink We cheat and get away with it Then celebrate it as novel wit We pray with one eye closed And believe the Heart is glossed When the Devil’s hand shakes We’re damn miserable wrecks! The problem is we’re a problem Which begets another problem. The Problem which is a Problem: How best to solve this Problem! JM 13th Nov’ 2013
