the water drips.
drip, drip, drip.
trapped in this clear glass,
with its family a mass.

the blood drips.
a scarlet seeps.
trapped in a bone cage.
filled to the brim with rage.

only a piece of meaty flesh,
but brought to the world a bless.
trapped in a rib's prison.
tastes like poison.

the water, the tears.
the blood, the flesh.
tear apart thy hub.

a word, a phrase, a sentence.
all enough to shatter
a world built steady for decades.

now the blood drips,
and the tear drops.
A world destroyed for a word.
