Experience

He had heard of searing pain
That could drive someone insane,
Witnessed real determined rains
That wasted farmers' seen grains;
Riskliy used a needle;
Swore to not with things fiddle;
In his eyes excused pepper;
On this can write full paper;
Fought in many ugly wars
And saw that they are death jaws;
Now knows hunger keeps itching,
As one nears a good kitchen...

Sure-to-strike-us experience
Makes nothing man's resilience.
