'Life' I know with absolution is 'Not Truly Great'!
it can't even come close because of all the hate
Fact is life is so much more painful than dear
as we age reasons why become more clear

From birth to teenager you would never imagine being bad
Foster homes and molestation weren't part of any plan you had
Truth is humans are inexplicably inhumane and vile to the core
remember that every time you get that knock on your door

I believe it's just not feasible to sustain peace of mind
how can one in a world of competition and wickedly unkind
Life would be better if we knew a heaven awaits after we croak
knowing so many are hurting keeps my heart and soul broke

When all those less than great parts of life unfold
"IT'S PART OF LIFE"... is what we get told
We must endure watching the ones we love most pass away
our ONLY choice is to "get over it"... no ones here to stay

Constant disappointment can and will make you numb
If you feel this "Life is Great"... you're blind then some
Life isn't great and I can't point out EVERY reason why
I do hope with all my might... we're better off after we die
