The Situation of Desperation

Today you became convinced of the world
and it's dissolution,
And you could not fall asleep tonight 'till
you came to a conclusion.
Discontent with how things went
you strove to make discouraged,
Those who mayhap will fall a prey
to this destructive current.
This world is like a busy street
full of dissonance,
and of this distorted place you wish
to keep it at a distance.
You try in vain to explain but soon
become distraught,
because most people turn away and
hearken to you naught.
No greater inspiration comes to your
soul you see,
Than when you're in the situation of
divulging the mystery.
