Optimist

I raged at the dying of the dawn

The arrogant moaning of sunsets gone

I screamed and hollered at the fat and greedy

As they ignored the poor and needy

I wondered aloud at lives gone wrong

I sadly pondered the bustling throng

I came to see all is not well

In places of ignorance that resemble hell

I stomped my foot at the blazing sun

And the evil that some men have done

I cried real tears over sins of lust

And unhappy lives that come to dust

There it goes the Wintry day

Time again for children to play

As softly I caress the bursting flowers

While making love to precious hours

Hope is always our best road to take

And love not war is what we should make

I love you life I truly do

And celebrate each day that’s new

Though I may rage and I may scream

I put my faith into a dream

My screaming fits will fade quite soon

And then I’ll sing a happy tune
