Comic Relief
We must find comic relief in a world of pain.
Otherwise affliction will drive us all insane.
We must find comic relief in a world of hate.
Otherwise revulsion will hook us up as bait.
We must find comic relief in a world of war.
Otherwise depression will drop us to the floor.
We must find comic relief in a world of law.
Otherwise inspection will show us every flaw.
We must find comic relief in a world of dupe.
Otherwise deception will land us in the soup.
We must find comic relief in a world of fear.
Otherwise suspicion will stab us with a spear.
We must find comic relief in a world of need.
Otherwise elusion will give us hearts to bleed.
We must find comic relief in a world of hurt.
Otherwise dejection will mire us in the dirt.
