Paul Stuart Nachbar's Headache Take One

by Paul Nachbar

Paul Stuart Nachbar's headache:
Some of course simply do not care
Many other folks get headaches too
And life itself is seldom fair..

Take an aspirin, smoke some weed
Do a good or a bad deed:
Help or hurt those folks in need
Really here our hearts dont bleed.

Oh they say I heard a rumor
That your headache was a brain tumor?
Or else some odd infection
Previously thought beyond detection.

Science and math will fix this up
Though some techniques make you throw up:
For each cure there is a cost:
Whine about it? Then get lost!

Psychology will do the trick
Or some psychiatrist we'll find
Be patient while we search for one
While we kick your fine behind.

Critics in the data pile
Will use some trick to find the Truth
Some evidence of scar or trauma
Inflicted or self inflicted in my youth

Teachers here will always see
There were not many folks like me:
They will make a thesis here
And upon conclusions might agree.

Politicians argue here
Rage is good or rage is bad:
They advise here what to do
All that 'rage' and "mom' and 'dad'

Bhuddists advocate for peace
And for love and other things:
But the Buddhists at the top
Seem to always live like kings

Here of course one can withdraw
Into fantasy or worse:
Some will say to have a mind
Is less blesing than a curse.

The good folks with common sense
And good manners nod and smile
"Clean your act up, pay the rent!:
Do not think of stuff that's vile"

The bad folks who hate the good
Folks who love to drag you down
Here will nod "Misunderstood"
And say "they make you their damned clown"

Well this list can go on and on
Mostly I feel black and blue
Although i have a few good friends:
This headache is most likely due to YOU.
