The world kicks the wounded man in the groin

He writhes in pain and curses loudly

Betrayal is real and there is no sympathy for wounded dogs

Kill or be killed, dogs eat dogs

The skin grows thick to the harshness of the earth

And the mind hardened by her cruelty

The wounded man laughs amidst his tears and moans

He will rise again

But this time he will leave his heart behind
