I see aberrations in a world
gone hard and harsh
Happiness ain’t coming to me.
Not from the outside, not anytime soon

For an old fool like me, what are the options?

Take my values and vanish in the dark
Punctuate my consciousness, but only at will
Swap ego with patience, a lowly virtue I don’t have
Lower my profile and dodge the evil eye

Why invite bad vibes when so many come uninvited…?
