We are all *****-
Our veins run with mud
our hands clench around broken bottles
spilling our souls onto the ground.

We are just humans,
Beasts in this overgrown Eden
Leaving wreckage behind us, between us
Burning the rivers, killing the angels.

We have lost our innocence
It has escaped from our clinging hands
Lost in the heart of the unborn child,
Choking on the dirt of its mother’s womb.
It had no chance.

Let the cool rain wash away the dirt from inside,
As we stand outside and let the drops slip through our parted and cracked lips,
As we cry for redemption through art
As we beg for beauty to make up
For the ugliness of humanity.
Let the cool rain wash away the dirt on the outside,
Wash away our mistakes
Our downfalls,
Let the daisies grow through the rubble,
Let the sun shine without the haze of dirt.
