Avert Vials Of Self Pity Poem by John Sensele

Sunlight sings good morning
As each day you awake
To immerse you in birds singing
Sweet songs for your sake.

Seek solace in sapience places
Away from simulation scenes
Aiming for bliss but reaping stresses
In figments that disappoint your twins.

Spare yourself blushes
Swimming in seas of depression
Slashing hope in a folly flash
Thereby in vain sowing the wrong impression.

Saturate your mind with joy
Averting vials of self pity
From which you can't enjoy
Life on the seamy side of your city.
