Analysis of Descendents Of Barbarians



Feeling it their obligated duty to represent,
The history of their ancestors.
With a pride that ignites,
An ongoing infighting amongst themselves.
Repeatedly day and night.
As if this doing achieves for them a victory!

A victory.
A victory of and over what?
The murdering of humanity?
The hoarding of resources?
Confiscated to then take where on Earth!

Earth.
The single benefactor,
A silencing of death has yet to dispute.

'How deaf, dumb and blind,
Can an ungrateful stupidity get?'

Which one of you childish little boys said that?
Was it you, Cain?
Or you, Abel?
Stop holding onto your pieces and speak!
