Done to Infect and Infest

An effective ineffectiveness,
Has kept you sufficiently...
Ineffective as a test.

And the best of yourself,
You have made sure endures the stress.
To inflict and spread to others of distress.

And this distress that depresses...
Keeps others confessing to profess,
If it wasn't for a nothingness to live for...
There would be nothing at all to protest.

And that is done to infect and infest,
In an effective ineffectiveness kept to perfect.
Like a gift expected and accepted...
One awaits to get.
