Quatrain of Misery
Wretchedness of condition
Oh torture! Scrape oozing malice
feverishly from thy worst malady,
Acquiesce to rotting torment before
forcing it into a beaten tragedy.
Let thy affliction swell thy horror
before attempting to scalp pain;
Alas! Scream for sunshine to burst
forth and cauterize sorrow's vein.
