Tree’s ravaged roots By axes a thousand Spilling the blood of forest barks and mosses The trunk’s weeping screams Enough to deafen the nearest fowl Each branch sheds tears Of liquefied organs and veins That once hitting the ground Flow in rushing meanders Enough to drown soil housed insects Every leaf that was born Green and luscious under the sun’s beams Now recoil and shiver Into a rusted deathly brown All the breath that once recycled Back through its green body Chased into a withered chasm One by one The axe takes a thousand lives in one One by one The world that nurtured humanity Decays by humanity’s hands One by one The ruin of all Will occur By the axe Of humanity

The Axe of Humanity
Tree’s ravaged roots By axes a thousand Spilling the blood of forest barks and mosses The trunk’s weeping screams Enough to deafen the nearest fowl Each branch sheds tears Of liquefied organs and veins That once hitting the ground Flow in rushing meanders Enough to drown soil housed insects Every leaf that was born Green and luscious under the sun’s beams Now recoil and shiver Into a rusted deathly brown All the breath that once recycled Back through its green body Chased into a withered chasm One by one The axe takes a thousand lives in one One by one The world that nurtured humanity Decays by humanity’s hands One by one The ruin of all Will occur By the axe Of humanity
