If agony is what you seek, <br />I am sure there are a few who would share their burdens. <br />With a dumping of their sorrows right in your lap. <br />To be left crazed because of a quality of life, <br />Overpriced and taxed. <br />When did that fact become noticed? <br />Ask anyone who attempts to entrap you, <br />That! <br />You may learn more than you wish to believe, <br />About yourself. <br />With an acceptance of reality, <br />That has you playing a major role.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
