Oh blissful happiness,
upon whose paths only the innocent walk
until some evil spirit rends their hopes
and casts them off - where children dance
and the fool walks in a trance!
I have heard the devils talk
The way they ****** one into an act
and then mock without end,
and there's no going back!
They tell you about liberty, how you are free
until you bend and succumb to misery
Though wise, I was unable to discern
hypocrisy and the hypocrite
until recently, when I learned
they just want you to share their agonizing fate!
Oh mercy,
I thought no ill could come upon me,
and I would rise above any predicament
Woe is me!
How could I have known about the inner plague
that comes with every thought
of choosing instead of love, something worse
and doubting the laws of the universe!
By the time I saw, it was already too late
too much time has passed,
and vengeance had decided my fate
I seek revenge over mercy,
thus barring me from my own happy state
How quickly a happy heart can turn into hate,
and love into pain!
I want to retire to the womb from which I was born
from which I was torn, and pretend
to have not seen anything at all
I deny the ones I loved
and had compassion for - no more!
There's only bitterness left,
and no comforter in the world before me
for I reject simple joy and correction
for hard-hearted wrath against my oppressors
