Seed

When I moon you, I bleed.
I birthed you. Unclean.
I cut you from the tree.
Planted you like a seed.

Crushed you with my knee.
I just did it. I'm Nike.
An arrogant breed.
A godless stampede.

I stalk you like a creep.
You're the cream of the crop I reap.
You're too slow, so I leap.
Far ahead. Too high and too deep.

Time to get you on your feet.
Time to shove you away from defeat.
Time to brush you with my meat.
Time to empower your instincts.

No more hiding in a fleet.
No more crying at my feet.
No more dying like machines.
No more multiplying, just being.

Just a seed under the canopy.
Cradled by another entity.
To outcompete the old and weak.
A predator amongst the sheep.

A life cycle when we sleep.
A miracle that ends in tragedy.
A parasite hidden in the meat.
A shark lurking in the deep.

The forbidden pork bent at the knee.
No one knew it was Nike.
The dragon hiding in the sea.
Inside the hive, buzzing like a bee.
