Most people can be firm enough
To endure dull day roles
But deep in their veiled consciousness,
Large numbers are in pain,
Hounded by self-doubt,
Hounded by stray thoughts,
Hounded by their absence of drive,
Seeking answers to
What life is about.
Some seek God
But most will find fortitude
In the tales of shame.
