Seeds
SEEDS WE ARE
KILL US
BURRY US
OUR PAIN LASTS
BUT NOT SO FAR
PHANTOMS UNDER YOUR FEET
INVISIBLE LIKE A SPECK,
LIKE DUST
BEFORE YOU
WE'RE INCOMPLETE
AIN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
US
DEAD AMONG THE LIVING
EXECUTED, PERSECUTED,
INCINERATED ALIVE
YET
WE ARE A BEE HIVE
YOU THINK YOU CAN MANAGE LIFE?
US
MUTED, BLINDED, DEAFENED
TIED, CHOKED, IMPRISONED, BEATEN,
LIFE WE ARE LEAVING
OUR DEADLINE YOUR TIME EXCEEDS
THOUGH OUR SOUL BLEEDS
A SULLEN MULLED WINE
WE ARE A LAND MINE
