I’m sorry for my people.

I’m sorry that greed and industry
have forced your hands
into an embrace, no longer of love
but of death.

I’m sorry that we could not
coexist together neither above
each one.

We put you under the gun.
Fed you to the fire.

Recanted our most recent lies
though wretched, you were crying.
And in our haste to use you,
abuse you, absolve ourselves of blame,

We began to burn together in the heat
Of our own flames.

You deserved more
Than the smoke induced stupor
that we bore from your heart
and burned to fund our own bones
once we were long gone.

But soon we will be,
fed to our own flames

and for that,

I’m not sorry.
