Prenatal Farming

Unable to raise the very seed you planted 
Unattached from your attachment
Cheap talk followed by hallowed out lies 
Words without follow through have no effect on growth
Untrustworthy soil poisoning the garden 
Leaving the seed to wonder, 
Whether or not it is better off without you
No purpose for pesticidal love 
Absence does not look so bad 
Stunted growth as a result of misuse 
You have foiled and disrespected the seed,
The offspring from your very own loin 
Never again will another farmer trust you, 
Their livestock deserves better
