Poem: Prayer of Why Not

So much time
spent in pain
and discomfort.
Is it any wonder
I spend so much energy on
diversions.
Carefully taining my mind
away from the present,
by booze or books or broads.
Is that really so bad?
Is it better that I should
suffer always,
never forgetting sor a second
my pain
and my condition
in life.

Fie!
Fie I say!
A pox on all doubters!
To hell with Thee and cheers!
I deserve whatever
pleasure
I can milk from this
ugly place.

Amen.
