PAIN COMES IN MANY FORMS
WE ALL WILL SURELY AGREE
AS SIMPLE AS A PAPER CUT
HARD LIKE A REPLACED KNEE
SO MANY WAYS IT MANIFESTS
TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT
IN DEGREES OF SEVERITY
OF SMALL OR INTENSE AMOUNTS
PAIN HAS A NASTY PARTNER
AND ITS DREADED NAME IS FEAR
WORRY ALWAYS ADDS IT’S VOICE
AS IT WHISPERS IN YOUR EAR
WE ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED IT
THOSE WHO HAVEN’T ARE FEW
DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION
DICTATES WHAT YOU MUST DO
IT MAY BE A BROKEN MARRIAGE
OR THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE
THE INCREDIBLY HORRIBLE TRAUMA
OF BEING SHOT WITH A GUN
MAYBE YOU’VE LOST YOUR JOB
OR YOUR BUSINESS HAS FAILED
REALIZING THAT YOU’RE BROKE
YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME DERAILED
BUT THERE IS A GREATER PAIN
AND OF IT YOU HAVE HEARD
IT'S THE UNSPEAKABLE AGONY
OF THE INTENDED SPOKEN WORD
FOR THERE IS NO QUICKER WAY
TO TOTALLY DESTROY
THE SOUL AND SPIRIT
BE IT MAN, WOMAN, GIRL OR BOY
OUR WORDS DO HAVE POWER
HOW WE USE THEM WE MUST CHOOSE
FOR CAUSING PAIN IN SOMEONE
INSTEAD OF WINNING, WE LOSE!
