The Forces of Happiness

The Forces of Happiness

 

“There will be music, dancing, happiness….By order.”

 

-Town Crier in Dance of the Dead, an episode of The Prisoner

 

The Forces of Happiness are released

To worry out of their burrows those poor

Unfocused souls who mumble about their days

In happy, innocuous solitude

With books and cups of tea and scribbled lines

Of happy wonderings and teasing thoughts.

And such is not acceptable to those

Who suffer not the individual -

To herd him into organized submission

The Forces of Happiness are released.
