Pain...

by Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy

Pain kills
Pain stills
Pain drills
Pain grills

Pain irritates
Pain debilitates
Pain mutilates
Pain humiliates

Pain excruciates
Pain emaciates
Pain accentuates
Pain perpetuates

Pain oppresses
Pain depresses
Pain suppresses
Pain expresses

Pain demands
Pain commands
Pain reprimands
Pain countermands

Pain strains
Pain drains
Pain constrains
Pain restrains

Pain rules
Pain fools
Pain dulls
Pain lulls

Pain can be mean
Pan can be seen
Pain can be felt
Pain can be dealt

Pain – always painful!
But some pains – gainful!
