The World is Good Enough

I was a failure in love, I created enemies among women,

Enemies flaunt their successes before me and I am

Thoroughly tested all the while.

Malady struck in the form of a disease of the mind, 

And people ask me why do you live?

Only a string of hope came to me,

When I got a job at thirty seven,

I was not good enough to attract a beauty,

To forget all and enter life,  

To stand upright in this complex society.

But my friend, I assure you, I

Want to see the world, I want to be alive

I still see some faces that smile at me

I still have hope of coming through

Failure cannot hunt a man forever.

There is beauty in nature, there is beauty in the sky

There is beauty in the sea and in the forests.

Caring for nature gives me pleasure and in the inner world

I try to control my lust, my weakness.

God will surely open the gates of peace,  if I 

stick on to virtues and be quiet.
