In bygone times
processions of flagellants
punished themselves
and each other
to expiate their own
and other people's sins
thus depriving Satan
of some souls
for his vast and fiery cave.
Now, however, people
torture themselves
extremely -
often individually -
to boost their egos
and 'self-worth'
and make them fitter
for the grave.
