Sadness And Despair Poem by Randy McClave

Should my heart be full of bitterness and despair
Because about one person I do not truly care,
If they were to get ill, I wouldn't give them an antidote or a pill
And if they should die, I wouldn't even bother GOD with a prayer.
I wouldn't say, "Gesundheit! " If they had sneezed
As I wish they would stay sick and then become diseased.

I will always worry about others if they become sick
But, about this one person I won't worry about, and that I will not contradict
I wouldn't care at all, if they had trip down and fall
And remember this! I am neither a pharisee nor am I a hypocrite.
Upon them though, I would never wish pain or suffering or death
I just wouldn't care if they were in agony or breathing their last breath.

Should I feel a sorrow or even a sadness from my feeling
I don't! Because of one person I see an evil which to me is unappealing,
If they were to disappear, I would smile and I would not cling to a tear
Then I would know that my soul might begin it's own spiritual healing.
Throughout my life I will know of one thought that I will never yearn
And it would be about this one person to which I would not give any concern.
