A little pain alerts me to a risk unto my life a larger pain unnerves me causing misery and strife a debilitating pain is unnecessary by any worth or measure I wish such pain revised to a commensurate pleasure
why severe pain exists at all is a mystery to me none can understand or explain its crippling purpose satisfactorily the great joy of childbirth is excessively marred for the mother oft the exhausting process of dying is complicated by many ways to suffer
the unlimited pain reflex is a blight on the human experience think how well a mild pain cap would make significant difference why does this exaggeration of a mindful tool become a sensory debilitation raging until done?
it’s only conceivable purpose is to be weaponised by some to torment and torture others until they do what they are bidden or for a perverted sense of fun
I say cut the neural pathways of terrible unbearable pain and let us be the masters of our lives relieved of such a bane
I have seen people in terrible pain in my professional life. I have never discovered the purpose it serves. I have always endeavoured to provide timely and proportionate pain relief, but there have been times where that has still not been enough.
I remember a life coach once telling me that fear and pain share almost the same networks in our brain. Said we can’t have one without the other. Eradicate one, you lose the other.
But chronic pain hits differently. We do fear the prolonged suffering.

Your words are very interesting. I’ve never thought about pain like this before. It is indeed a terrible and debilitating experience.

I love the ending verse. Oh, to be numb to it all. Maybe they will have it in pill form..like the series, brave new world.
Loved this poem, Sean.

To my mind extreme pain is superfluous to needs. But then I wonder? What of extreme fear?
