Bastard Basket

Where will we go from this life?
A process of erase
What processing defines us?
The weakest link defaced
A face of definition
An arbitrary fate
A facial reconstruction
To pacify the state
Pastor blames my past lives
For retroactive crime
Torrents of modernity
Inherently malign
Bastard in the basket
Helplessly it whines
Elderly confinement
Expired before their time
