Why is Life So Damn Complicated?



This one comes from there, and represents that,
              That one comes from here and does what?
These are are set to please,
              Those would rather tease.
He hides hidden under hat,
              She must have said that.
This so complicates,
               The one who replicates.
I could not find,
               Anyone kind.
They did not think,
               That their job would so stink.
You may see,
               What can rightly be.
That which hides things arcane,
               Sometimes leaves a bloody stain.
Hiding in the dark,
               Is no great lark.
It can not explain,
               My abiding pain.
