Secluding the infant's reliance
Self-indulgence is reigning
As the redundant has been denied
Standing vast since adolescence
Still susceptible like a nursling
Desperately longing for
The roots to grow deeper
But they can't be reached as concrete walls
Have been built around them
Solely walking the earth
Searching for affirmation
As the heart knows
Heredity can't flee from its precedent
The benighted progenitor
Vigorous still
Inattentive of what his actions composed
The trees are saving themselves
With branches reaching towards the skies
While the powers of our great mother
Are trying to smite them down
She's hearing their cries
Vainly pleading to keep the trunks strong and whole
As tribes need the soil to be nourishing
The shepherd reverses rolls
As the wolf becomes the prey
Flames arise from the ashes
Left behind by the conflict
While the convict is wearing its mask like a proteus
Denying the torment that has been inflicted
Leading his life like a proteus
As no history lies behind him
