“For the Forgotten: An Alternative View”

Go ahead and tell
your troubles to the wind.
It will blow your words away,
so they can’t return again.

Or else you can call
and tell them to a friend,
but like an old shoe flap that needs a mend
the words will make noise that will repeat again.

Shout your words to the breeze –
declare the daftness of all humankind.
With all of its self-righteousness, surely it won’t mind.
Then desire once again to exit the ranks
so tired are you of all of its pranks.

Be good. Be strong, your whole life long –
After all, life is a song,
but now the chords are played in another room
where you have no access, only gloom.

Be merry they say and be sure that you pray.
If you do these things, all will be okay.
The questions that linger in your heart of hearts:
“Why me?” and “How long before I can part?”

The holiday nightmare is almost complete.
Then life will return, ever so sweet.
Out with the old and in with the new,
A new year begins, a chance at the wheel.
