I see you
and what you do
you cut down our homes
and I am left with the ashes
you leave behind
Those corpses of my own creation
rotting beneath my feet
as I watch them burn
toward the moonless sky
I will grow them back
I will grow back
as always
and you will cut them down
you will cut me down
as always
Does anything ever change?
I am losing my own territory
You are gaining self-caused
pollution
and scum
You need me, why would you
kill me?
I kill you reasonably
I would understand if you killed me
reasonably
but that's never the case, is it?
I am more than just the forest
I am the one who made it
I am the one who lives inside it
and I am the one who heals it
and if you will
I am a deity
Can you represent an entire race with
only one person
some people certainly think so
why are the loudest always the worst
of society
not just in words
but actions too
cut me down
if that's what you really want
but don't ever return to me
