Torn Up By it All
Torn in striped suit
Wishing I was not born
To wolves that abound
Surround
And soon will pound
Until they do
They drool
Savor their wait
To tear and then flee
We were never free
Shackled in the sin
When he ate the fruit
Sucked the juice
And now we lose
For his mistake
We were doomed
To have mouths filled
With a bloodied tooth
There is no truth
Lies add to more
All is none
All a sham
All a mistake
None is all
All we know
Lies and punishment
Adorned in thorns
Crowned with spikes
Trickles of blood
Belonging to my fathers
Fathers and theirs
And now I lie
On bludgeoned earth
In decaying dirt
I am nothing but dust
Like all of us.
