A reader
sent this to me. You may have seen it. It’s from Shabbat.com. The writer
is reported to be an 11th grader, Chanie Gorkin. It’s a poem titled,
“Worst Day Ever?” The posting on Shabbat.com appears to have no date.
The writing
seems stilted—but after you’ve read it, you’ll understand why. Take a look.
It’s very short. But it speaks for itself.
Today
was the absolute worse day ever
And
don’t try to convince me that
There’s
something good in every day
Because,
when you take a closer look,
This
world is a pretty evil place.
Even
if
Some
goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction
and happiness don’t last.
And
it’s not true that
It’s
all in the mind and heart
Because
True
happiness can be obtained
Only
if one’s surroundings are good
It’s
not true that good exists
I’m
sure you can agree that
The
reality
Creates
My
attitude
It’s
all beyond my control
And
you’ll never in a million years hear me say that
Today
was a good day
Now
re-read—from bottom to top.
