A WEAK GENERATION

An herb of slaves
They punched us in the eyes
And draw the first blood

They have taken over
Our Feelings
For we do not know
What to feel; How to cry
What to fear; and certainly,
When to fight

We quarrel among us
Draw sword for the sons
Of our father
And the enemy cheers at us
Hail our folly & spit on the
Integrity of our heritage

We are the enemy
We are at each other's throat
While the slaves
Lay with our sisters
And drink our milk.
