Starvation - Less

Penance strapped to my ribs

Scratches away the negative

Clipped like mercury’s

Wings strapped to my feet

This slow pure starvation

Threatens everything i’ve done

This is not a phase

Nothing grows through things like this

Waiting for it to pass

Polishing brazen mistakes

This slow pure starvation

Threatens everything i’ve become

Wait a while

I might be late

I’ll wipe that smile

Right off your disgrace

The only way to serve is defy

You came first, so first you will die

Commit one small high speed crime

The world will breathe a parental sigh

This slow pure starvation

Threatens everything we’ve done

Spend long days

With treason

One inch spent

Six feet of man went away
