Mother Tongue

I burn at the ire In your eyes 'Mother tongue, ' You shriek But I cannot hear I will not listen You point to a land Over an ocean I will not look 'Home, ' You scream You mumble stories Of a time too simple Good memories Tasteless meat 'Roots' You lash And shake me clean I am a careless speaker My tongue twists Who am I? I come from the sky 'No, ' You cry Your fingers Around my arms My hands over my ears I dream of violence Like you once did To cut and rape Preach and shamble 'Love, ' You mutter Your head snaps away This word I hear
