Life Is A Beautiful Shame - Poem by Nick Kler

Out of my miseries
my fortune of futilities
if you manage to get a laugh or two
I would not blame it on you
Hell, I might even laugh with you

let it be my only game
what a beautiful shame
oh! this life is so… vain

at the drop of a hat
you find yourself upon her path
she pulls your every string
what a pretty little thing

despite of things
I might have said before
such a bitch, a beauty insane
oh! this life is so… vain

poor or a pretty young face
rich or a filthy old grace
she will leave you hanging someday
in the middle of your praising her ways

despite of things
I might have said before
what a beautiful shame
oh! this life is so… vain
