Pain

Violence breeds pain
Pain beyond gain


Violence signs show
A dying flow


Violence is crude
Decay burns rude


Violence spreads fear
Let love mark cheer


Violence is mad
Vile beyond sad


Violence is harsh
A sinking marsh


Violence now trades
A fake charade


Violence knows fest
In cruel jest


Violence now spills
Evil ways thrill


Violence is sick
An empty flick


Violence speaks loud
Haughty and proud


Violence is weak
A losing streak


Violence lays waste
Vile acts that paste
