Cause and Effect
the whip cracked across my cheek
back i staggered faint and weak
couldn't answer, couldn't speak
little knew the havoc t'would wreak
as for him, i'm sure
he'd think nothing more
of scar with no cure
i'd for life endure
he thought it didactic,
part of art and tactic,
which made it more tragic
the henceforth prophylactic
against all emotion
a rhinoceros' hide
that he'd set in motion
leaving me inside
raw to to the touch
in constant clutch
aquiver in hutch
a broken crutch
prophylactic
