a cradle like an unmarked grave
head splinters
head splinters

being buried every day
dead fish and
dead fishermen

it’s not a fault
it’s not your fault
it’s not a fault
it’s-

journey of a thousand faces
years of bad luck, mirrors
complacent

a cold bath in the dark
a sedative of glass
third eye for the sharks
penitent in mass

it’s not a fault
it’s not your fault
it’s not a fault
it’s ok

it’s not a fault
it’s not your fault
it’s not a fault
it’s ok

manslaughter, bloodstains
now it’s your problem

oh, daughter of cain
is this what you wanted

is this what you wanted

This is one interesting advertising technique!

Ok ok lemme give you my thoughts on this one:

This poem relies heavily on repetition, which at many points succeeds greatly in lending it more gravity. The repetition of the 6th stanza though is something I personally would've left out. The imagery is on point, and it's ambiguous enough to make me dwell on it. I especially like the part with "dead fish and dead fishermen". All in all, it's pretty solid. It could have benefitted from some extra punctuation for extra inpact. Nice job.
