312.6. SADNESS

Sadness is a funny thing now isn’t that a paradox

Sadness is a funny thing to those who know the truth

Sadness is a funny thing that positively shocks me

When I muse about my sojourn through a long and lonely youth

Sadness is a feeling that can drain one of emotion

And put to sleep the soul that was once eager and awake

Sadness is a feeling that can drain one of emotion

And leave behind a trail of misperceptions in the wake

Sadness has a quality that slows the mental process

By focusing on helplessness by focusing on strife

Sadness has a quality that slows the mental process

Causing one to reassess ones attitude to life

Sadness helps to level off the peaks in ones emotion

Whenever sadness counters the most grandiose of joy

Sadness helps to level off the peaks of ones emotion

Whenever sadness surfaces its power to employ

As things are always as they should be God makes no mistakes

As truth is all encompassing devoid of lucky breaks

As sadness is emotional and God makes no mistakes

Sadness is just one more liberty a human takes
