Analysis of Self destruction
Sia Mariti 1994 (Maseru)
Bitter and lonely are her sons,
with clouded judgement they crush,
oblivious to the vanity of their roar
Oceans swell with rotting bodies deep below
Death is fattened and nourished by scarlet,
treasure placed so deep in flesh
Ye lady, the ever grieving mother of humanity
If only they knew the enemy is within.
Consumed is their time
theme of the present goodbye
Is it, Good?
