Father’s Kindle for an Almighty Riddle

Running through the forest, Beyond the intruding trunks, Over roots that reached from the soil, I've been snapping twigs, Only to leave a trail blood, Staining the forest floor crimson green, But it is his nature to go his own way, To tear through the pain, To become the greatest thing he can perceive, Draining the decadence from his veins, It isn't like he is a thief, Just a minuscule entity, Till he solidifies his being, So that others can learn of him, even by turn pages on three rings, Dripping, Drooling, Confident he will be confined to the history books, Despite being destined, Despite living with the acceptance, Dredging the evidence, Of being fit for a grave someday, Staining the leaves, We might as well strive, To leave our mark, To sight our sites for the sake of a dream, Whatever helps you and me sleep, Not seeking violence, So bless you all, I wish there was a god, Because I’d pray, I beg, I’d follow the one who could tie the unknown fray Uniting us all Bring the silence to my lips, And peace during your stay, But demanding an almighty beacon will not help right now, It is just us my friends, On a world siphoned from stars, So we must insure the change, Because there isn't an chance a deity could save us from our social decay, There is no need to cover up your granddad’s scars, The pillars of our personal rise , Not a loss cause but on course for an evolutionary delay, That is why he’s running through the wood, Stumbling over roots, Spattering chromosomes all over the place, He's you and me, Just sprinting through an existence, Only to be sliced by those that brought you into this natural cage, Captives unable to escape a fate, Invisible stage, my arrival was set to a predetermined date, Pleading pity, I was conceived without a say, We must avoid those twigs they consider the vines of divinity, To show them your just another human, Potentially the ending to our plight through a naturally nourished might.
