Unkind Life Poem by Sean Green

Friends are absent for a time
by arrangements most unkind
when the world must revolve
to the tune of gods' resolve

the comes and goes have been set
to grow and test the occupants
wishing to hold on to faith
that comfort that most won't debate

disregarding the small joys
now that they're beyond control
of mere mortals that only seek
to make something of life found bleak

the benevolence this lonely quest
is hollowed by this small request
connections found are put aside
when friends are lost to unkind life.
