The Soil is Rotten 11/07

I can't stand the land

Coated in layer upon layer of concrete

Obfuscating the sins of the past

Bodies buried too deep

Blood soaked in the soil

Blood on the leaves

No matter how veraciously I claw at ground

Attempts to reconcile the past are made in vain

What was raught is what shall remains

Responsibility, as always, misplaced

I fear I too will be buried here

Enmeshed in this putrid place

The Soil is Rotten,

And I Will Not be Buried Here
