No I don’t feel like being optimistic
I’m not Little Miss Sunshine
You can play that nasty trick
So what if you’re out of line?

I’m vocal about being antisocial
I don’t care about philanthropy
Being good isn’t focal
Everything comes with a fee

Don’t ask me to smile
Not going to oblige
It will take a while
That’s the face of this drige

Education taught me values
Life gave me reality
Isn’t that great news?
I blame you for my frailty

I’m not much of a poet
Just venting a bit of angst
Does this sound like a cynic's duet?
By now you’ll have that grasped! ---
