This Dark Night of Life
The world has gone hostile
The land no more fertile
Women getting all sterile
And all men going senile
The sun now shines with cruelty
The always excited birds are all now in sobriety
The moon itself glows with hostility
All nature has indeed lost their hospitality
The dog has bitten its owner
That celebrity is now a loner
That man who feared weapon is now a gunner
And the once dauntless soldier now a runner
It seems all things have fallen apart
That God has called his glory to depart
Never again to men's life impart
Or to show men anything good in full or in part
But to whom shall we run
If not to settle under his (God) pinion
Though on this dark night of life we mourn
I do hope for that joy in the break of dawn
