Pain Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Oh! pain, pitiless pain
Your fangs are hard and piercing

Oh! hard piercing pain
You are deadly and painful

Deadly pain, painful pain
You are agelessly brutal

Ageless pain, brutal pain
You are crushing and excruciating

Crushing pain, excruciating pain
You are mercilessly killing

Oh! merciless killing pain
You are everything you are
Hard to merciless, piercing to killing
Yes you are, really are.
