.
lifeblood dies,
colors the breaking bond
between mother's brother
for we have more than food at the table -
we share a paean
to an infernal niece
whilst our salvation ferments
and decays among tear ducts
in vain we take
a step toward welfare
.

Hehe, I always make stupid mistakes like that. That's why Math isn't my best subject. XP
Mom has been on my case all night; I can't even think straight.
Yet still, fixed.
