Troubles with theft, assaults, rapes, murders,
fatal car accidents, mass murders and more
They happen night and day without cessation.
There’s no end to it. Loads of victims too.
No guarantees one day me or next day you.
But these terrible things seem to happen only
to other people until they happen to me or you.
One thing I like about death, maybe the only thing,
when we die, we’re free of the world’s teeming troubles.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I hope what I believe is true.
That the end of life is the end of troubles too.
Bob Boyd
