THE ROOT CAUSE
@niamornimo
Like country bumpkins
Chased down every dream
We had

Choices,
In the chilly mornings
Trotting down the dew
Blinded by mist
We knew where we were going.
Through turn of events
Brushed shoulders
Got under each others skin
But stuck together
Binded by DNA
Had the choice leaving
Instead stayed
Tucked together in hugs
Warm for consolation
A better tomorrow.
Couldn’t stop the river
Of tears cascading
Our mellow yellow chic’s;
Reflects the inside unfolding.
They say it wasn’t hard
Coz it wasn’t physical
Well I wish it really was.
Maybe my explanation would
Be sensei but
No it feels nuts crying
Over mere memories
That ***** our skin
To reality then maybe
Dream on.
The everyday fight
Burning within like wax
Melting down our bellies
Making scars like maps
A lineage of scarcity as
We burn out keeping it in.
As a plant grows
From a seed so do we
The root of our pain
Channelled to generations
Through and through
Lets joke about it
I know its sick.
I long for a solution
Where the fingers that
Keep up the gear
Playing blame shift
Would take a turn
Seeking within
And start by * *
