DESPAIR <br /> <br />Despair at the death of friends <br />Despair at their sufferings in illness <br />Despair at loss of powers <br />Despair at one's own pain <br />Despair the violence of the world <br />Despair at the evil thriving <br />Despair at the haters heard <br />Despair at human stupidity <br />Despair at failure in work <br />Despair at inability to begin again <br />Despair at inevitable decline <br />Despair at nothingness forever <br />Despair<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/despair-75/
