A poem on the Buddhist concept of Dukkha, or suffering. Dactylic Tetrameter and end rhyme.
Life is a potter's wheel girating noisily
Squeaking a song that reminds me of misery
Misery, Suffering, Death, and Disquietude
Why must I bear with such pain and incertitude?

What could it be this sensation that hangs on me?
What must I do to dispel all this misery?
Somebody answer me! save me from hopelessness!
