We Are Predecessors
We are predecessors.
The ones that came after those whom
founded it.
Preserved it.
Reserved it.
We run wild through sanctuaries,
anarchy fueling our body,
tear gas fueling the weapon against one another
over a solitude democracy.
predecessors do not see eye to eye of the ground level
for we were not there when it was built.
We skim the top, frantically looking what to fix
yet there is nothing
so creative juices start flowing.
We soil the restoration.
Spit on the preservation.
Destroy the foundation.
The tongue is small yet vile,
carbon tax 'decrease' is replaced with
wasted carbon out of the mouth.
Intention is questioned of our favorite court-room drama
while Martin is still in the ground.
Predecessors mangle an already organized thought
desiring power and possession forcing
transparent boundaries to be etched
while the Antarctic pleads to be untouched.
New leaders are young and enthusiastic,
ripping other's youth away
for speaking what is right.
We are predecessors.
The ones that should raise our eyes
not to look at another.
Not to look at the world.
Only to look at what matters.
