The doctors tell me
The pain goes away
Lie
Lie
Lie
It doesn’t
Our world is built on pain.
Lie
Lie
Lie
The innocent die
The evil live
And the pain goes on
On
On
On
Our world is built on lies
On lies and pain
The pain never goes
Away
They say it goes away
But that’s a lie
Lie
Lie
Lie

Once again, beautiful. So descriptive and so much is said in so few words. You have a gift. Don't waste it. Good job.
