The misery of being human

Oh! the misery of being human
What all it does to not test its sinews
How it manages to wear a lovely smile,
Masking its cringe, just so it doesn't default its dues,
It does the laundry, and washes the car,
It dusts the family photo, keeps it good as new,
While it evades them all, evades itself,
All for a guaranteed supply of lentil stew,
All its life, it lets the brain take a call,
Brain, fear factory and its mistress ego, rule,
Its heart, the messenger divine abandoned,
Made an engine, that runs forever, to blood, spool
No wonder the heart, is the one to stop first,
I don't blame it it doesn't, until it has waited too long,
It stops when it knows, it has been ignored, cast off,
Made medicroty mill oil, so human can dance to another's song
