And so they played they were Innocent, But the words in wood They spoke In black mud "Wood was" "Wood is" "Wood will end" "Wood will become" "What had began" Fear runs fast in young eyes, As to a father they did run "Calm down little ones" And in to woods he took An instrument of destruction, So upon wood he did Hack, Carve, Splinter Pieces now  layed upon the ground, A splinter did puncture His finger that bleed upon Black mudded ground,   And he dug at hated mud For words to be seen, "A splinter" !Will seal the fate" "And too wood will consume" He looked upon the words And glancing blows, Now all was splintered Covered in black mud, Days had past Night was calling, He awoke startled, a burning Sensation, Looking where the splinter Had punctured,  his Finger unable to move, Then as the nights did pass More fingers fell to the numbness Unable to move, He awoke Three nights past, His hand discoloured And a elbow locked, so much pain The fingers now spread out angles were Distorted, Altered, Contaminated, As the stiffness spread Arm and hand now locked in this figure, not natural, His skin did wrinkle Not a colour that Is meant to be, He though he would breath in his last Outside he ran, Bare feet did sprint, then for "No reason" His feet did stop Pain seared through his Appendages He looked down in horror Toes rooted to the ground He reached up "God what have you done" And so the skin consumed wrinkled Like bark his skin did Manifest Once only wrinkled But more like bark from a tree Wood was destroyed, It warned in the wood "Disrespect nature" "And wood you become" There is a new tree in the garden The Mother looks upon this new Leaved tree "It looks like your dads face" "Only just" The child says, There father was never seen But he had paid the heavy price For the words foretold,   That wood will consume, Sap leaks from the tree Slowly it fell for many months to come Always seeing but unable to move, His family sheltered under the tree in Summers, Winter, Rain, They always kept dry Under the tree, And every so often, A branch would move, to brush up To be close to his family.

Words In The Wood
And so they played they were Innocent, But the words in wood They spoke In black mud "Wood was" "Wood is" "Wood will end" "Wood will become" "What had began" Fear runs fast in young eyes, As to a father they did run "Calm down little ones" And in to woods he took An instrument of destruction, So upon wood he did Hack, Carve, Splinter Pieces now  layed upon the ground, A splinter did puncture His finger that bleed upon Black mudded ground,   And he dug at hated mud For words to be seen, "A splinter" !Will seal the fate" "And too wood will consume" He looked upon the words And glancing blows, Now all was splintered Covered in black mud, Days had past Night was calling, He awoke startled, a burning Sensation, Looking where the splinter Had punctured,  his Finger unable to move, Then as the nights did pass More fingers fell to the numbness Unable to move, He awoke Three nights past, His hand discoloured And a elbow locked, so much pain The fingers now spread out angles were Distorted, Altered, Contaminated, As the stiffness spread Arm and hand now locked in this figure, not natural, His skin did wrinkle Not a colour that Is meant to be, He though he would breath in his last Outside he ran, Bare feet did sprint, then for "No reason" His feet did stop Pain seared through his Appendages He looked down in horror Toes rooted to the ground He reached up "God what have you done" And so the skin consumed wrinkled Like bark his skin did Manifest Once only wrinkled But more like bark from a tree Wood was destroyed, It warned in the wood "Disrespect nature" "And wood you become" There is a new tree in the garden The Mother looks upon this new Leaved tree "It looks like your dads face" "Only just" The child says, There father was never seen But he had paid the heavy price For the words foretold,   That wood will consume, Sap leaks from the tree Slowly it fell for many months to come Always seeing but unable to move, His family sheltered under the tree in Summers, Winter, Rain, They always kept dry Under the tree, And every so often, A branch would move, to brush up To be close to his family.
