These are the days
Of competitive pain,
Of raucous victimhood;
The ones with the cruelest clout
Claim to be least understood.
The largest mass that
Truly hurts invisible remains;
The smartest howlers from
Their pain make the greatest gains.
Pain is what is propelled
On the primest of TV channels:
The best known cases most reside
In choicest protected kennels.
