Happy Suffering Going On Everywhere Poem by Margaret Alice

Cosmic understanding teaches
we create problems and intrigues
whenever we look around and see
there is no problem to be found, we
feel unhappy and restless, in the
blink of an eye we create

A few very comforting and satisfying
problems indeed - humans have been
raised with the awareness that having
problems is our God-given duty, beware
declaring we don't have any –
it is sacrilege!

We feel guilty when reality presents
problem-free and lest we be damned
to hell for being happy; we create as
many exciting problems as possible
to stay in the mainstream of society,
adding to life’s challenges

And enjoy the happy soul-cleansing
suffering going on everywhere!
