    To Whom Should I Speak Today?
    by Thomas Eric Peet

    To whom should I speak today?


    Brothers are evil;
    The friends of today love not.

    To whom should I speak today?


    Hearts are covetous;
    Every man plundereth the goods of his fellow.
    To whom should I speak today?
    The peaceful man is in evil case;
    Good is cast aside everywhere.

    To whom should I speak today?


    Yesterday is forgotten;
    Me do not as they were done by nowadays.

    To whom should I speak today?


    There is no heart of man
    Whereon one might lean.
    To whom should I speak today?
    The righteous are no more;
    The land is given over to evil-doers

    To whom should I speak today?


    There is a lack of confidants;
    Men have recourse to a stranger to tell their troubles.

    To whom should I speak today?


    I am laden with misery,
    And am without a comforter.
