So Lucky
I began to laugh this morning
And the world did scowl at me
I'm so harshly treated, its hard to believe,
But I tell you, they're against me.
I have a full education
With opportunities most don't have
Oh, relieve me of this pain
God was so unfair when he gave me what I have,
A roof over my head, a family,
Food, warm clothing,
Friends, a life, little reason for strife.
But the worst thing He gave me
Was the ability to cry in self pity
At the injustice of the world,
When the injustice isn't on me.
What I got from the poem s, the world is a pretty harsh place at times. Good insight.

God I absolutely love the last line! And its so true. So brilliant!
I agree most are ungrateful and greedy but there are some who aren't ,still it's a good observation. I think poets look with a more critical eye because they seem to pay more attention to detail. I know ,I'm very analytical for the most part
Thank you for sending me the link to this poem. I think everyone needs a reminder from time to time that as bad as we have it there are other people, who have it worse. I also believe we need to take the time to show people we appreciate them and the other living critters on Earth. However, I do think that we all deserve to bathe in self-pity from time to time to let out our frustrations and emotions, but I hope that we don't drown in them. It's a good thing we all have friends and we can always rely on God to get us though. God bless and take care!
