Job 10 (1) “I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul”


He mumbled in constant meandering,
Below the volume of understanding,
Of the backache of lifting someone up,
The thirsting he had while sharing a cup.

He had only words and deeds to judge him.

Shouting of evil to which he’d been cast
Then handing a stranger a month bus pass,
Moaning of the pains of his tired feet,
He’d given away his shoes down the street.

He would have the words and deeds to judge him.

All of his coins had been given away
Except for the harsh words he always say,
Passersby would cringe from the dirty sight,
Another dismal creature of the night.

Gloom

Thank you, Serenity
Job is a man put on the Earth to teach a lesson
By example, but few wish to learn it.
Take my smile, I’m sure it would look better on you,
Than this tired old face.

99.999% of the time, I am Job's opposite, but somehow, reading this, makes me feel better.  Thank you...
