The pain of a pain so painful,
The pain of the hopelessness of losing hope,
The dire pain of hopelessly plunging into dire hopelessness,
The pain of progressing very fast,
And very fast in reverse past the reverse,
The pain that is so so,
The pain of dying,
But still living to tell the tale,
The sad stale tale of a country so deserted,
The tale of a country so dilapidated,
The toll tale of a people so dead,
The tall tale of a land surface so empty,
As if the buildings have turned into lions,
Crocodiles and snakes.
