Do Something Against Pain Poem by Sofiul Azam

Don't flee from weeding out your good old brain.
There's time when you can drug your fears to sleep.
Go find the way to do something against pain.

All these bad things will make you scream like Cain
and helpless like a lost Baa-Baa, Black Sheep.
Don't flee from weeding out your good old brain.

Unveil the things you once were born to gain.
No matter if there are only wounds to keep,
go find the way to do something against pain.

Here is the desert's dryness instead of rain.
To irrigate, you can't help digging deep.
Don't flee from weeding out your good old brain.

You'd better not let goodness go down the drain.
No matter if like worms you may have to creep,
go find the way to do something against pain.

There's life that gives you nothing but a strain
but cringe never from mountains, however steep.
Don't flee from weeding out your good old brain.
Go find the way to do something against pain.
