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
