Eating Dirt
I think I want to eat dirt
I was watching this show once
And this fat pregnant lady
Was eating dirt
I didn’t watch to see why I just thought it looked fun
I was 6
And when you are 6
And you see someone do something strange
You automatically think its fun
I didn’t watch to see that
She wasn’t doing it for fun
But because the man that planted his seed in her
Wasn’t tending to her very well
She was eating the dirt because her
Body her big fat body was craving the nutrients
The nutrients of mother earth
To mother her seed
So that her baby could live and grow
And as could she
Because the man that planted his seed
Doesn’t bring home enough money to
Put dinner on the table
Just enough to fill his belly with alcohol
Because the seed he planted in her
Isn’t as important to him as it is to
Make sure that his liver isn’t strong enough to make it
To that babies sixth birthday
Because when you are 6 things that are strange looks fun
And watching that lady eat dirt looked fun
Just like watching daddy hit mommy is fun
Just like he said she said is fun
And stabbing each other in the back is fun
For when you are six things that are strange
Look fun
So watch what you do
Because the innocent see all.
