Pink and Grey

And today your life begins From the womb burst forth With the violent spasms of new life We come, pink, screaming Into a cold world smogged over With the gasses of our indifference We grow tall and strong like weeds In yards uncertain, dusty and grey We thrive like ants Our drive unkillable And we grow ever faster, And the day you see the first ashen hair You smile and realize you haven’t long Wizened by the times you’ve spent you see whats all around you your smile fades and you pass, disgusted you came pink and screaming you leave grey, accepting for you now know the world and know we killed it. Long ago.
