Pain

PAIN ---------- A sadist delight A masochist plight A broken heart When lovers part Empathy Sympathy Metaphorically stabbed in the back Wrongfully given the sack. The loss of a young life Purpously caused strife Unnecessary stress One's life in a mess Abused Misused Pollution Corruption Scammed Dammed So much more That can make one feel sore Like your true love suffering Garbled muttering Holding back when you want to roar Help being declined She thinks she's being undermined Doubles One's Hurting Then I close my eyes and face the window No need to look I can feel the worlds pain An ever-increasing crescendo And only ourselves to blame! --------
