If foundations were people
If the houses on top
Were those they love
If the builders and contractors
Were a person’s maker
What does it mean
When the foundation
Is set up to fail
With ****** concrete
And cracks forming too soon
When the house realizes
Instability upon which it sits
It will empty and
The foundation is left alone
Needlessly weighed down
When it topples
A few decades later
Lasting shorter than it should
Do we blame the builders
Do we blame the foundation

If foundations were people
If the houses on top
Were those they love
If the builders and contractors
Were a person’s maker
What does it mean
When the foundation
Is set up to fail
With ****** concrete
And cracks forming too soon
When the house realizes
Instability upon which it sits
It will empty and
The foundation is left alone
Needlessly weighed down
When it topples
A few decades later
Lasting shorter than it should
Do we blame the builders
Do we blame the foundation
