You must beget, beget, beget
Earth will continue to revolve, you see
So, do not allow them to forget

It shall revolve until it surely sets
It shall revolve until it implodes, most painfully
And so, you must beget, beget, beget

And death will cradle you against his heaving breast
And one day you will swoon to him, and recite your elegy
So, do not allow them to forget

I see upon your chest, a crumbling, shivering crest
Yet you must rise and leave your legacy
You must beget, beget, beget

Suffused in saffron from the Sun that sheds
Its flakes of death upon your decaying body
Do not allow them to forget

And I continue to see hordes of people shake maniacally and fret
To leave their imprint on this sagging earth, their fallacies
Maybe, you must not beget, beget, beget…
Perhaps, you should, allow them to forget…
