Today's Stichomancy for Saddam Hussein

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Heap O' Livin' by Edgar A. Guest:

When life treats 'em roughly an' jolts 'em with care, They seem to imagine it's bein' unfair.

It's a curious notion folks hold in their pride, That their souls should never be tested or tried; That others must mourn An' be sick an' forlorn An' stand by the biers of their loved ones an' weep, But life from such sorrows their bosoms must keep.
