i am sky

While the sun dries like berries under heat

Baked by eclipses, dried blood flaking upon desert meat

a sliver of red, the army of the undead––has arrived

Sifting through silver sands of mist old as aged time;

Passes by, passes by, ticking on a silver clock,

insanity is a monster at the corner of our eye

It teaches us how to survive, thrive, pass out and die

And holding on against the crash of salty sea to a rock

That wants desperately to see our skin crack and bleed

We are beneath the muck of an earth

amputated at its knees

And as the gold washes clean

of rust and the great, radioactive war machine

brutality is planted from seed into stone

it buries itself, parasitic, into ancient Tree bones

'till it grows old, putrid, we were all too stupid

To see the darkness that sprouted beneath the green

swelling in black bubbles of pus, it went unseen

Our mighty Trees cut down at last 

And we were never meant to feel the blast 

of burning, psychological heat 

of scalding screams and worthless dreams

we were never meant to last for long

we were never meant to see our wrongs

natural beasts of chaos

and we will fight for eternity
