STILL I AM WAITING
================
I was waiting from the school
for my lessons and for my teachers
I was waiting to get a good job and
to marry a girl to my life
i was waiting in a nursing home
to see the new face of my son
I was waiting to admit my son in a school
to make him as a fittest to survive in this world
I was waiting to have a nice daughter in law
to look after my son’s needs
I was waiting to my retirement from my work
to relax myself in melting in hymns
Still i am waiting to put an end to my life
to forget everything in the hands of death

eeeew, nasty
this is so at odds with your normal joyful ebullience I wonder if I am missing the irony, or were you just depressed?
cheers,
