*I'm tired of poems now
let's try for size a song.Just now I thought, and thought
how sad's it all at times:How some deserve to have
the most this world can give
but then instead of give
it takes away.How some deserve to have
far better luck in love,
but then I do remember
that luck won't care.How some deserve to have
a loving heart for them
but then have theirs destroyed
without a care.How some that wish for love
their wish won't see fulfilled
for others have before
a heart destroyed.How some that wish for love
despair before the fact
that they're on the bad side
of history.How some that wish for love
must solace find in thinking
that they will too, in fact,
be loved one day.Just now I thought again
and thought: goddamn, it's true
that I don't know how one
should write a song.Perhaps I'm best in sticking
to writing poems, not songs.*
