Owed in Generations
Owed in generations, crowning heads and bloodshot eyes, whittled bones uninhabited stomachs. O' the seething cries sending riptides through my veins.
Begging the pleading, tearing at ones eyes already pulsating with squatters burrowing maggots.
Rich lies feasted on by the masses, indoctrinated trudging blind.
Pleads falling dumb, while breakups send people high. Witness the ignorance of freedom.
Images of caved ribs and lifeless expression used to behold a child. Filmed through a lens your only a guest.
Mothers helpless, knowing....
The repetitive cycle see's no end near.
