honest suffering

Shall I tell you what is worst than honest suffering?
It is one man's overlordship
over another

What is worst than grinding hard work?
Slogging for the excesses of the other

What can be worst than a death
in clear conscience
A life of lies and crossed fingers
behind dagger-handled backs

Who stands taller-
an honorable discomfort
or a malicious ease?
