I COMPLAINED AND I COMPLAINED!
by Lewis E. Thomas I COMPLAINED AND I COMPLAINED
I complained about living in a modest home because I "deserved" a mansion sweet!
Then I saw a homeless man begging on the street!
I complained about my car that was at least five years old!
Then I saw a hitch hiker "walking" who looked very old!
I complained about my job and my slave driving boss!
Then I watched my neighbors house get repossessed because "his job" had been lost!
I complained about my relatives coming to see me at inconvenient times!
Then I met a man who had "no relatives at all" and in his pocket not a dime!
I complained about the noise my children made running through my house!
Then I read about a mother who's children died in a car crash with her drunken spouse!
"Oh, what that mother would give to hear their loud noises again!"
"To see them playing chase and to see their big smiles and grins!"
I complained about taking my grandma to her doctor when she had the nerve to get ill!
While I was in perfect health and had never had to take one pill!
I complained and I complained, and I complained some more!
Then suddenly one day I collapsed and I hit the floor!
When I woke up I was in a dark and gloomy place!
It was very hot and the air was thicker than thick around my face!
Their were multitudes waist deep in a Lake of Fire that stretched farther than I could see!
"WHAT IS GOING ON"? WHERE AM I"! THIS JUST CANNOT BE"!
Then an Evil Demon heard my question and walked up close to me!
He whispered into my ear, "YOU NOW BELONG TO ME"!
He said, "I'm in charge of all "COMPLAINERS" be they young or old"!
"I dish out the "appropriate torment" to inflict upon your selfish, ungrateful soul!"
