To Hell with Peace of Mind
You don't know what you've got When you've found peace of mind No unpaid bills, no due loans Not even forgotten subscriptions Isn't this life plain bliss When you don't have to sigh or hiss About school fees and car repairs And rents or partner dramas You don't know what you've got When you don't have to flee temptations Or be primed for examinations. But without its ups and downs Life is simply drab, plain and cheerless Without our bickering friends And that little pinch of anxiety that wakes us up on Mondays Without the pesky noise from our neighbours' And the little respite we spend on alcohol on Fridays Our lives will become lifeless Without all its complications of unpaid bills and tiffs.
