The Carnival of Pain


Surrounded
By pain and suffering
Locally in sight and beyond
This feeling of helplessness

Hurt to the core

Grounded, in
Oppression and servitude
Through select indoctrination
The thought of being chained

Hurt to the core

The thought, of
Healing the heart and mind
To keep moving slowly forward
Sets in a chaotic ruckus, that is

Mind blowing to the core

Is healing possible
With so much pain and suffering
That is the carnival of the fortunate
Enjoying the drama of the beasts

With no end in sight
