the live long day

is not secure and
happy as I had thought - the
live long day sees
insecurity it sees
sorrow as people go
and not come  back - it sees
grief at lack of presence - the
live long day keeps
nothing sacred and nothing
lasting and so-called
good people narrow-
minded unelastic and
complacent - the live long
day is not what I
thought it was nor is it
what it should be - for the
live long day I am
heart sorry
