This Life Sucks

"This life sucks," myopics say
They can not see the light of day
They can not see beyond their nose
And that's the way their small view goes

How dreary every life would be 
When moon and stars you can not see
Or hear birds chirping in their nest
Nor watch the sun set in the west

So many things to see and do
Myopics choose the narrow view
To live or die is all they see
How wonderful that they're not me!
