Fallen
The nails cut deep into my clenched fist
Blood escapes life to death’s never ending list
My ebony skin has healed from your banishment
My translucent soul weeps an eternal testament
Our way back to heaven is measured and laden
With endless detours and sharp thorns lay hidden
We came too soon like an accidentally detonated bomb
Nine months inside your immortalizing womb
My two hands cannot hold enough water
My wide open mouth evil sin can only utter
