OPTIMISM
By THE MAN IN THE TOWER

(From an Anthology Of Selected PoemS
Talk happiness The world is sad enough
without your woes No path is wnoly roughi
And speak of those, TO rest the weary ear
OF Earth so hurt by one continuous strain
OF human discomfort and grief and pain
Talk faith. The world Is better off without
your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt
II Won have faith in God, or man, or self,
say So If not push back upon the shet
OF silence all you thoughts, till faith shall Gomez
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.
Talk health The dreary, never-changing tale
OF mortal maladies Is worn and stale
You cannot charm, or interest or please
By harping on the minor chord, disease
saw YOU are we'll, or all is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make them True
