Unhappy

How can I remain unhappy?
when I can catch a bus home,
without it being stopped by soldiers
without being shot at
without having to sit at the back of the bus

when I can turn hot water on when I get home
without fetching sticks and lighting a fire
without callouses from carrying coal
wihout paying exhorbitant prices

when I have a cupboard full of clothes
without having to watch what I wear
without worrying about T-shirt slogans
without taking a loan out to buy the clothes

when I have pairs of shoes!!
without them being secondhand
without them having holes in
without them being the wrong size

when I have more than enough music
without buying it from the black market
without it being subject to political censorship
without having to listen to it in almost silence

when I can be unhappy about the world
without suffering from poverty
without suffering from political oppression
without suffering from the joys of mine explosions

when I have the luxury to worry about other’s plights
without having to live in their shit-infested streets
without having to be beaten for daring to speak loudly
without having the chance to live by begging from tourists

How Can I Remain Unhappy?

because I am still not free.
