The Rich Young Ruler

(based on Luke 6 - not one of the better poems)

Now you've got me thinking
am I the rich young ruler?
too rich? too full?
Why is it wrong to laugh now?
and for men to speak well of me?
I don't understand the difference
joyful follower or mourner?
right after you called us friends of the bridegroom
It sounds to me like being happy is wrong
or maybe it just shouldn't be my goal.
