&quot;The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don&#039;t always soften the bad things, but vise versa, the bad things don&#039;t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.&quot;<br /> -The Doctor

Pain and regret,
You get what you get and you don't get upset,
No complaining, no opinions,
Follow the rules, and don't question the union.

Society rules over this destolit domain,
of squabbles and and shackling chains,
that rattle and jingle, snap and ensnare,
Catching unsuspecting poor souls unaware.

We are all part of the system,
Contributors to the destruction of free will.
We will follow the leader,
Until the day time stands still.

Pain and regret,
You get what you get and you don't get upset.
