Exodus of One
We will deign on rose petals as silence suffocates us
Yet we will not whisper, nor will we weep
We must enjoy the last breath that’s ours to keep.
Dead in the heart
Dead in the soul
Because you won’t pay death’s deadly toll!
Grave robber, grave robber,
Please leave us our thrones
Lest we gnaw on our own finger bones.
Rub mud in your eyes;
It won’t make
you
see
Soiled and blind is all you can be.
Don’t you ever come,
Cry and plead
I’ll give no more answers, guaranteed.
It was all for you
That we sacrificed our life
But please go on and cause more pain and strife!
I have the army
But you still denied
That you continue to fight for your pride…
Twisting, choking
Bruising, burning
Pushing, biting and finger-turning.
We’re the Olympians
Daughter and Son
Hear our mute roar and in terror;
run.
Flee in the night.
Rob our graves.
Run.
You coward, you fool. You exodus of one.
