Thanatophobia


Yes i am a farmer in this desert

Am i ready to grow my seeds in this land of drought

Am I ready to watch my germinating seeds develop in this heat

The path it is so too much not narrow

My fears of last breathe

My tears for I heard last words

Am I that heartless to let my germinated seeds dehydrate and dry

They say don't fail before you try

Wonder if what's left it's right or what's right it's left

If one of the two apply then where is the tears of joy

Too much friction heat hits the soil

Roots dies like Hiv, Cancer and Sugar diabetes patients

Why are they called patients

Are they on a wait for rain to green up their leaves

Or are they on a wait to cease

Like fish in the ocean your soldiers with you might be

But to survive doesn't mean you are alive

Expect a second round

Can't rejoice in this nature you had to indulge in

Body wrapped with plastics my seeds

Can't farm like daddy my seeds

Daddy brought you to a living hell hoping you will take care of the seat

I thought it was comfortable but it gradually over heats

This results in a lifeless life
