'22 Dew Drop #13 Nature... "Paid for with your arrogance"

Paid for with your arrogance

We provide the means,
less than you want,
yet more than it seems
until you forget
and then — and then — we deem
it's time to remind you.

We scarcely complain
of unforgiving abuse,
the bruises and wounds that remain
regardless — until —
we cleanse our hands of your stain —
and then we bury you.

Time erases all thoughts —
of the lies you sold
and the truth you sought;
the way to the stars now forever lost;
your graveyard bought,
paid for with your arrogance.
