I Remain

I
give, share, provide -
You take, use, and
Consume me whole.

I
grow, dig deep, reach out -
You gnaw, shallowly saw, and
Cut me down.

I
renew, replenish, clean -
You poison me with ignorance and
Fill me with mindless waste.

I
breath, exist, sustain -
You breathe to exist yet
Suffocate and smother me in pursuit.

I
weep, warn, even surrender -
You dig, persist, and
Rape me from the inside out.

I
weep
breathe
renew
grow
give
to remain.
