Just Desserts (for drnick) (Other) by ALChemy

What lessons might be learned by those who's folly is to lament a life that lemons left a sour taste to memories bereft of smiles? As love's deniles through time can leave one's mind quite melancholy. For the sun has yet to fall before I've spied another fool Who's cried and cried in blasphame, "Oh lord why have you forsaken me?" Who hasn't learned that what is earned might not be rewarded but if forwarded may not come on schedule. For nature is far grander in scale than one man's peace of mind and try and try as he will, he will not find the golden chalice or holy palace that he believes is his to recieve but that the bread he's won has gone stale. How time is wasted by those who feel thier "just desserts" deserve to be served. For in thier need on sweets to feed they've entirely missed the bountiful meal and thus they will be starved.

I think I got my idea from "It's a Wonderful LIfe" or was it "Bruce Almighty", anyway it's a good lesson. Keep the dreamlike images in your poem though, that was my favorite part.
