Thank You, Pain

So, lowly criminal
 Please tell me, how do you plead?
 Now, honorable judges, ladies, gentlemen of the jury
 Please allow me to present my case
 Ha! What case can you possibly present
 To rip a man from his family, faith, and friends? Defense?
 Listen, before you convict
 You see, I never did intend to ruin anything!
 Intent is a guilty conscience's white flag against pride
 So I find you guilty of the crimes
 I know, although I don't believe
 It's not only my afterlife I bereave
 Appeals will be denied!
 The line of duty calls for enforcement of laws
 So you're our property now
 Intelligence has failed you somehow
 Oh, what a shame that you play this game
 Through senses, what can we explain?
 Not joy, not guilt, not pain
 Is love the same?
 This senseless argument in vain erodes my sense of shame
 Who's to blame?
 Thank you, pain! (for crippling my body)
 God bless suffering!
 Thank you, pain! (for freeing my brain)
 For preventing me from returning to the source again
 So it shall be
 Now do you see the error of your ways?
 Of rats and men you speak
 Standing up tall but you are weak, a smiling thief!
 We are all murderers, you see
 But you let taboo human chemistry blind your needs
 Love is greed!
 Logic won't concede
 Think about the statistics you feed
 Think before you plead
 Through senses, what can we explain?
 Not joy, not fear, not pain
 Is love the same?
 This reckless argument in vain erodes my sense of shame
 Who's to blame?
