The pain they have caused is fresh, and in some places still bleeding
Some good but mostly bad, but it’s their advice you go seeking

It’s difficult to not want to hear from them
Because you’re connected by blood and believe you owe it to them

You’re trying to live your life in peace and prosperity
But can the one who poisoned your waters bring you that clarity?

They’re providing you advice now but will turn on you at the drop of a hat
Deep down you know this and maybe it’s the curation of their habitat

Treasure can be found in the most desolate of places
The trick is getting in and out without leaving any traces

If you’ve come from that polluted place and make it out
Why go back seeking nuggets that you didn’t get when you were down and out with familiar faces?

They may very well have your best interest at heart
But how can they help you when they themselves don’t know where to start?

You have unwittingly consumed they’re poisonous doses
Then with foam at the mouth attacking those who are your closest

Blood may be thicker than water, but their blood may be poisoning your water
It’s difficult to know the difference when it’s father/son or mother/daughter

The example you were given for life is not the example you have to live
Be cognizant of the pollution provided because you don’t have to take what they want to give
