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
