AWAITING DESTRUCTION
Poem by Ethan Bostic
Music by Aria Salessi
In the junkyard, I lie and rust.
While some burn to ashes,
Others collect dust.
In my spot, I lie and wait
To be brought upon my gruesome fate
As we are crushed for the rancid crime
Of living long past our prime.
Now I fear as fate grows near
And anguished screams are all I hear.
Soon I see his angry glare
As the crane lifts me into the air.
In my last moments, I only wish
That my owner had not been so foolish.
