Agony
The thing that binds
Great philosopher to humble beast
Where peasant and king tread the same footsteps.
Agony
Whether to give or to recieve
Bares a heavy burden
A cost in time, in sleep, in concience.
Agony
A careful friend
That brings the end nigh
Yet dangles it out of reach.
Agony
A child's toy
An epilepsy of the soul
As terribly exhilarating as any Earthly experience.
Agony
Damnation and Salvation
Sold each at an extortionately fair price
A pound of flesh to be paid in kind without putting paid to origin.
Agony
An end.
