The world is hard for nice people
who care for the world,
punishing for those who follow rules
grueling for those who pay taxes
wearisome for those who raise slogans.
The world is hard for good people
who love the world
exhausting for those who know human’s worth
arduous for those who hold a fistful of hope
laborious for those who restore warmth of a dying hearth.
Yet I must say, however,
it does make sense to think that
when the Earth tilts over by the guilty’s shame
when it turns and shakes at a maddening pace
it’s held together by the goodman’s faith.
