If you really want to research sadness
Whether of grief or from oppression
Starting with the etymology and the first
Blurred mentions of it
Visible on melancholy walls
And how it spread through languages
And tribes and was or wasn't written down
Charting its evolution from mere
Tears to full-blown tragedies at last
Then you must put it all aside
As something imponderable and wait
While all your questions are taken
Up to higher echelons of thought
Where sadness finds its source in love
