The Straws and The Camel

One straw doesn’t break the camel’s back

But it feels the strain

Of the unfamiliar pain.

Two straws don’t break the camel’s back

Its inner strength is summoned

To cope with the burden.

Three straws don’t break the camel’s back

But it begins to question

The futility of the situation.

The last straw doesn’t break the camel’s back

But inside, something shatters

Into a million pieces.
