Grim Happiness

-

Rico's thoughts about felicita, vita, et la pistole.

-

So many unhappy places

I see the sadness in their faces as I walk

I see the joy left in traces as I talk

No one is happy anymore

-

I am finally happy here

People smile when I'm near, and I listen well

This easy trust brings me to tears, easy sell

It opens up so many doors

-

It seems so simple, ending lives

To silence political diatribes, so quiet

To silence husband, wives; to dispel riots

I guess that's what I'm here for

-

My friends all say I'm doing fine

It's a peaceful way to pass the time; so fulfilling

To know my body is finally mine; sweet yet chilling

But still I shall not worry anymore
