I'll seize happiness now.

It's wise to listen to me. That's what I tell my wayward friends. The ones that don't listen. Because they don't want to hear what I have to say. Don't wanna face the truth. They are liars. The worst kind of liars. Because they lie to themselves. And refuse to be happy. They embrace unhappiness. Like religious zealots. Oh, they'll pretend happiness. But it's all fake. Self-deception. They actually wanna be nailed to a cross. Because that might bring them sainthood. Yes, in their minds and hearts, they were brought into the world to suffer. They welcome death. Wishing for happiness. On the other side. But I'm not gonna take that gamble. I'll seize happiness now. In love. --Jim Broede
