Pain Is the Greatest Master,
Its chains bind like no other,
Pain removes all clouded vision,
It's sharp witty and bold.
Self-Assured and rigid,
Like clay it moulds.
Attentively prostrate, low down,
Until he releases his hold.
Pain is the Greatest Master
Its chains bind like no other,
He cuts through flesh like broken glass,
Makes all wounds turn putrid.
Confidentially and rapid,
He will force you to heel,
He will rape and he will steal.
Until Servitude is complete.
Pain is The Greatest Master.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
