Joanne Kyger: Don't Worry
 
Don't worry you'll never be happy   thank god,
lulled into that fake state of contentment
when we all know it's a war

against those believers in evil

Everytime I sit down out here alone
I start to whine about 'reality'
                                                                      July 18, 2003
Joanne Kyger (1934-2017): Don't Worry, from The Distressed Look, 2004
