Infraction

Left in the wake of destruction,
this mother is called to action.
I am going to shed light on
an infraction, an infraction.

You knocked a single domino,  
there is nowhere for us to go.
Forcing us out of our borough
with no crossbow, with no crossbow.

Basic instinct pushed to the brink
no fresh water remains to drink.
In your yard before you can blink 
you didn’t think, you didn’t think.
