Nature's Explosion

The pixelated mess

Transformed the natural

Blurring trees

With the metal

And crumbling the structure

Created by ritual.

We believed a return

Would come with

Changing tides

And the growth

Of the moon

We came to love.

But we were wrong,

Devastation fell

Supported by papers

And bloody signatures

That signed away

Life force after life force

With the promise

Of honor and Value.

We fell victim

To the lies and deception

Of green bills

Waved in front of our faces,

When we should have let

The green leaves grow

And the ocean swell.
