Is life really “just a bowl of cherries”?
Let’s consider all that’s not so merry
War in Afghanistan and Iraq
Two very not so merry facts
Economies on the downhill path
Un-merrily bringing on our wrath
Environmental problems mostly ignored
We can’t envision what our planet has in store
Hunger and starvation in far off places
Leaders who lie to us with straight faces
Price of gas, right through the ceiling
Transportation on foot, not too appealing
When with all these concerns I try to grapple
I’ve concluded, Life’s just a bowl of rotten apples
Stanley Cooper
