Government and politicians
The ridiculous spin
Taxes
And salesmen who call me from India

Insurance companies who won’t pay on technicalities
The car part that wasn’t really in need of replacement
And
The diet that never worked

People telling me John Lennon is dead
And Elvis walks my supermarket

That shit happens when it cannot
And
Santa Claus is real
The Easter Bunny delivers chocolate
On the day Jesus was crucified

And
Today’s kids all empowered to show no respect
Schools that fail to discipline
And Judges who cannot deliver appropriate sentencing

Police not allowed to police
The loss of a beautiful wife

And
Wars

Just
Some of the pains I can do without

In a sad world
