Write a Happy Poem!

dear tormented soul, what are you out to gain?; why do you toil in misery, why are you in so much pain? persecuting others, because of what they say; if you want to teach them, try the Christian way! your heart's in total anguish, you claim that you don't lie; only Christ walked on water, take that beam from your eye! write about something happy, remove that awful frown; a frown is nothing but a smile, when it's turned upside down! life brings you sorrow, this we truly know; stand and dust those cob webs, sometimes you must let go! the world's not always ugly, take a look around you; script a poem about nature, perhaps a haiku will do! read the morning obituaries, do you see your name?; at least you're among the living, stop crying and finish the game!
