Happiness and Company

Happiness, always the one that we want,
Sadness, the one that we bear.
Fear, the helper, the force that can shield
Anger, don’t take us down there.

Joy is the light shining out from the waves
Pain, is the one that will teach
Pleasure, the drive behind actions and needs
Envy, the one we can’t reach.

The world of these people, the things that they do
Always reaching far out to be heard
In the life of the man who is too quick to act
Pray tell how you make life absurd
