The Stain
A man is digging in the deltaIn the dark soil with his bare handsTo work the land for generationsIs he a fool?And I am working in my gardenTo stem the tide of grass and weedsWith the green machine and rototillerI break for lunchThe man has planted all his seeds nowHis tired hands are black with oilNothing growsThe man is thin and hungry because he's lazyThe seeds are sprouting in my gardenMy soft white hands are stained with bloodAgain this year I will reap the harvest that I deserve
