One strand unites them all
From the aborted foetus to the expiring relic, one common denominator that binds us
Whether it be by knives driven into flesh or even a pin succulently slipped beneath the tissue.

One thing is universal
One thing that perhaps lends itself to creating this brotherhood, sisterhood
Call it whatever you will- that is mankind, humanity.
See we all know what it is to feel physical pain if nothing else

When the bitter cold bites: what motivates us to build shelter?
When the pangs of hunger strike: does that not ‘egg’ us into the fight?
Man versus beast, each inflicting pain on the other.

Round and round and round it goes
These four little letters
One hell of a word!
