When Rhythm Fails

When Rhythm Fails

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

When Rhythm Fails



blatant lies
in the womb
of peril
infamy tells blatant
truths
History is afterbirth
allowed to stagnate
as we sit in a waiting room
of years
expectant parents
knowing what is to come
is all relative
to what is redone
when we reproduce
mistakes 
creating offspring
of regrets
