To the Young Ghosts by Insecurities!

Even after...
Like a seedling,
We cut down your innocence.
Our excuses still lie
On speculations
From the decaying webby system
Rotting into our bones.
I guess you must watching
Our incessant nuisance as a nation.
As usual, we only talk.
But you have escaped the rot
The unfathomable corruption
I must say,
On behalf of a nation
Whose promises end on lips,
I shamefully say,
We failed you.
I must say,
We are sorry.
