God - The Sadist & Masochist in One...

Of all the sadists in the world,
The worst kind
is the sadist who doubles as a masochist!

You know -
the type who is duty-bound to pain you,
And yet who goes to a corner,
and sheds tears for you when you are not watching.

Tears of empathy,
Yet not bereft of pain.
For the sadist doubling as the masochist,
Is but a part of you.
And knew even as HE made you.
That your pain would be HIS Pain.
That your tears HE must also cry.
That your life HE is answerable to.

O Greatest Sadist of All,
Can you stop that doubling act of yours!
The last thing I want in life,
Is to die...
With your pain on my soul!
