Failure Breeds Failure

The seeds they have sewn
We are expected to reap
Conditioned to drag our fingers through the fucking soil
Hands caked black with dirt of a ground
Long made sour
By a disease of the generations
That came before us
Whose fear and hatred becomes a sickness
That the youth will harvest
As the old guards stand
As monuments to those who refused to fight
A crushed dreams eulogy
For those around me
Who bury their chins
Into their chests as
They march into the heart of darkness
One by one
(As another)
Failure breeds failure
Failure breeds failure
Failure breeds failure
I won’t go, I reject, I deny, I refuse, I will bring forth
Sharpened steel to the rotting bark
Bring forth the flames of torches
To uproot the orchards and set the fields on fire
Failure breeds failure
Failure breeds failure
Failure breeds failure
No more
