Dudgeon ... Sigh

Today's word is "dudgeon" ... DUHJ-uh n ... a feeling of offense or resentment; anger. (Dictionary.com)

Sigh
Everywhere you listen,
You will hear the sound,
Of the sad disciples,
(Grumbling abounds.)

Things here haven't turned out,
The way some thought they should,
Thus the desperate dudgeon,
They've been misunderstood.

Time, it's sometimes said,
Heals our wounded hearts,
But divinely given comfort,
May make a better start.
