Genealogy

I discarded my progenitor’s name

And took your daddy’s

On your way out

You asked for it back

Nah, son

I’m gonna make use of it

And drag it through the mud

You and your ancestors

Fashioned with blood, sweat, and tears

That were never yours to wield

No forgiveness big enough

To cover up your mess

Your violence may yet achieve

A twisted immortality

Your features fading

Into the murderous mass

Of your despotic predecessors
