Sweet Suffering Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Manny Maurice, Nigeria Apr 17, 2007
  Poetry

  

SWEET SUFFERING
Bear down on me, Suffering sweet
Teach me pleasures of defeat
Draw me through the grille of pain
That I may price the grace of gain

Stab me, gore me in the back
Shackle me with chains of lack
Stall me, all deferred plans frustrate
That I no more might procrastinate

Vain hopes shrivel, whittle, douse
Use my neighbour, use my spouse
And aft vain caprice you have killed
Steel the frontiers of my will
