Their Famine
starve the naysayers
starve the dream killers
there are no true paths
just the imagined
brought forth
soulless filled with spirit
taken from the body
and shot outward
forward into entropy
safe in its sovereignty
yet vulnerable all over
to the personal taint
dream killers cultivate
in ear shadows
selling it back ripe
and false in a
farmer’s market of doubt
shun fruit bought
back from the mongers
they’ll poison you
to speak legends of failure
as they pick seeds
from your waste
brave the empties living
on a spirit’s droppings
leave no dribbles of life
sup your imagination
on any invisible table
cheering adventure
with hot soul full
starve the naysayers
starve the dream killers
starve the dream killers
there are no true paths
just the imagined
brought forth
soulless filled with spirit
taken from the body
and shot outward
forward into entropy
safe in its sovereignty
yet vulnerable all over
to the personal taint
dream killers cultivate
in ear shadows
selling it back ripe
and false in a
farmer’s market of doubt
shun fruit bought
back from the mongers
they’ll poison you
to speak legends of failure
as they pick seeds
from your waste
brave the empties living
on a spirit’s droppings
leave no dribbles of life
sup your imagination
on any invisible table
cheering adventure
with hot soul full
starve the naysayers
starve the dream killers
