new fashion/old wars

by dsr

Look at you, wearing My father's shirt My mother's broach My sister's skirt My brother's boots My grandfather's watch My grandmother's kerchief I can see you Bringing forth a siege from your palace - Robbing my family, Relentless! while they offer No fight. I don't know where my voice came from. Whose bones did I inherit and let rot? Whose muscles bring strength then shrivel? Whose heart beats and will beat the end? Whose eyes carved from marble and dirt? I can't find these answers But I can see you, Wealth Stealing from me.
