Seeds For The Next

Condemned and conjoined, we walk,

Steel binding us all. 

And ashamed we march our final

To the rope that will break our fall. 

 

We accept our wrongdoing and sentence

But resent our paths essential,

For, in living as dregs of hardship,

We never had much potential. 

 

We love the country that will kill us

And will be sad to see it go. 

But beauty is not void of pain

And our love has not been without woe. 

We pray that the country we leave

Will be one that will surely grow, 

But what hurts in our damnation,

Is we will not be here to see it so.
