Digging Holes

Season 2, #3: Consider the hole they'll dig for us.

When the hole that we are digging,
With every vengeful thrust,
Is dug, and deep, and broad enough,
To sate our broken hearts,

Consider the hole they'll dig for us,
Wider and darker still.
To swallow, and sink, in one bitter bite,
The depths of our depravity.

And the displaced earth,
Will harden and fuse,
To spoil our sacred lands.

And we will stumble and choke,
On the lumps that grow,
Upon the fields and in our throats.

Thank you so much for reading my work. It means a huge amount to me to have even 1 minute of your time, let alone the attention needed to read and understand these words. If you like what you see tell other people about it - it is the absolute best way to support me and my work and I would appreciate it hugely.
