When pride gets swallowed

When pride gets swallowed
who is the true benefactor?
What will become of heartache?
When does all the mental anguish
subside? Tall orders to
attain the penitent life, but
to what means and end? It's
a long way to remember the
essentials forgotten when
born - but death has it's
own way of transitioning
into the next sphere of context.
