Pain

There are red-pain, amber-pain, and gray-pain;
as stabbing pain. headache, and dull pain.

Of all the pains, feeling no energy and sad (gray-pain)
can be ignored or considered as no pain.

My brother's plethora of white blood cells kills red cells;
whose condition, beyond treatable; feels gray-pain,

which can be confused as no pain. At the stage,
the doctor would say: keep him comfy as less pain.

Medical marijuana, why does he not try? Sis says,
not to worry, his son knows better, he has no pain.

I do not believe it. every illness comes with pain.
His son might know of the degree of his pain,

than me living in oversea. If so, fine, but not so to me.
What if he suffers in silence the pain?

As usual, my tummy growls, then swoosh, the pain passes;
it can be serious. Byung, see your doctor for the pain.

Above poem is GHAZAL, Arabic poetic form I'm interested in learning
lately. Like sonet, it has strict rule requirment, which I don't like, but as I do 
practice, I find it fun.
