PERSISTENT PAIN

In pain, in vain, do we complain,
The effort merely makes it worse;
For pain is mankind's greatest bane,
Oft thought to be produced by curse.

The throb is felt with every move,
It permeates our every thought;
Though resting does the pain improve,
A remedy will still be sought.

Our doctors yet can't understand,
Exactly what will stop all pain;
With millions spent across our land,
It still will plague the human brain.

Some tolerate it more than most,
Still terminal deserve relief;
No fear of being overdosed,
Their life span is already brief.

For ages has the search gone on,
No answers have the doctors found;
So mankind still is woe-be-gone,
Without success our efforts crowned.

Sol the Sage
