when the last seed crumbles
and its shattered remains inherit
all the filth of this land
what say you to the prospect
that you could've watered it well
that you could've loved it to Hell
and made sure it'd smiled for a spell.

some kind of world
where you get the girl

and in your rage
you commit unforgivable sin
that will outlive you
even in old age
a world that shuns poems
but never
our demons within
a world called
home.
