The Yearning

Canine teeth albatross
You own none of my innovation
How little I think of your life  
Suckling on my name  
  
Your pain is irrelevant  
One day you’ll take what’s mine  
Our lands sown by thieves  
Family ties that bind  
   
I seen it when I was young  
Torn palms only announce intent  
Your grandfather once said    
Love is a fallen word  
   
Enlighten me  
For what I did wrong  
You will stand your ground    
   
The earth kept spinning  
As I laid waste to my father’s fortune  
Raptured the gold from his belly    
They landed as they may  
   
Catatonic witch in tears  
And I said mother how could you  
For he took what he wanted  
Offered less in return    
   
So in his image  
I’ll desecrate the corpse  
Paint his lips into a taunting smile  
Obtuse and profane    
   
Enlighten me  
For what I did wrong  
See his sins growing within
