Two and Twenty Misfortunes

Brilliance, a heart of gold

And a voice that whispers

"I am wholly miserable"He is the most miserable of men

Every word he speaks, reeks of failure

He has failed where others

Have succeeded threefold

This failure suffersWhat is a man

That is the source of his own misery

To face a lifelong nightmare

Of taunting dreams is unbearableWhat is this man

A dark prophet

A dark prophecySuffering knows no end

Nor does his appetite for it

Opt for the darkest corner and broodKeep closed your eyes

Keep turned your back

Tomorrow is deadTomorrow is dead

Today is the grave

Yesterday he secured a tombTime has been cruel

Why should time be any different than life

When tomorrow is deadHis shameHe will lie between

Resentment and regret

He shed his graceAs certain as a snake sheds its skin

Laid waste to a wealth of talent

His curse of being blessed with treasures

That just were not gold enoughHis endless misfortune
