ISSUES

Are the bane of our everyday lives
for virtually everything we undertake
calls for decisions we have to make
encumbrances, difficulties, headaches
answers, solutions, often hard to find,
keeping us up nights that is very unkind
sleep depravation, bad mood invitation
our thinking may lead us to agitation,
with confusion, anger not far behind
leaving us in an unhappy state of mind.

Why bother with issues, ignore them
some have tried, some are doing time
they hang on unless resolved, multiply
get even more complex as time goes by
choices may vary see which best apply
do consult with others alone do not try
focus no panic tackle them one at a time
you will see progress, you will feel fine
the clearer the deck the easier it will be
away with those issues no new ones for me.
