Some of us stew in their own little puddles

When they've gotten themselves into a muddle

And some do focus their lives on pranks

Which they pull on others to produce angst -



An anxious feeling the world is coming apart

Something which is not at all here in this art

For each work speaks of quite different matters

Which readers can see if not torn into tatters



By ill-meaning people who have nothing better

Than to provide detriment to them thru letters

Which they post into some quite public spaces

Instead of mailing them to their intended places



Angst is an over-anxiety about life in general

And comes to those who see not things special

As some artists do as they place work on-screen

For others to smile, laugh, cry, or to beam



If you see not these emotions as you read

Then a suggestion may be here made to lead

You out of your own very internal strife

And that is - leave me alone, and get your

                                own life ...
