No One Is Exempt Poem by Ray Hansell

Who holds the answer
To the problems that we face
Is there a way
To find an escape

Go to a party
Or a picture show
So for a few hours
Your life is on the go

But sooner or later
It's back to reality
And eventually
Your problems again you'll see

It was so much easier
Back when I was young
Life had little problems
We were too busy having fun

But as we grew older
Responsiblities began to mount
Knowing sooner or later
On problems we can all count

Now people with no problems
Seem to handle what comes their way
But those who are not able to
Will live with problems everyday

So if life has you worried
Because problems are always there
The one to remember
Most face some kind of despair
