What is
Pain?
That which we wake up to
Everyday,
A cold, bitter
Feeling.

A world where a callous
Force
Pokes a
Dagger
Into the
Heart
Of a beaten lion.

A time which is
Still,
Frozen for all intents and purposes,
A perpetuating
Ice Age.

A desert with no
Sand
Nor a plain with any
Dunes or pyramids.

A universe where Y2K was a
False Alarm
To all but
You.

A factory where everybody is
The boss
But you,

And where
All others
Are rich
And you are the only
Faceless person
In the entire
Crowd.

That is
Pain,
And it lasts
Forever.
