The Mark of Twain

There's more than just twelve feet of twain between total happiness and emotional pain It's unfathomable, for they shall never meet The distance is similarly much the very same as is substantial derision 'tween cold and heat There is much disparity amidst goat and sheep, although they both have four legs and bleat Assonant as the depth of a trenched abyss the golden rays of sun; beams of silver moon while one is wide awake, the other is asleep Half a world away is midnight from high noon The chasm is a wormhole, millenniums deep It's a contrast amid abundance and emptiness Never the twain to coincide. There's no egress Woes of sorrow to the one who tries to compensate for the lack of love that causes him to drown in hate
