New Beginning

The New Beginning  
And far away from city life and murmour sings the forest.
Trees will grow out of streets shake asphalt off branches 
In stillness the forest will cover land and aeons will pass in 
tranquillity until small antlike people appears from caves, 
hairy monster covered in shit. They will clear woods make 
dwellings and they will kill animals in the forest plant, corn 
and harvest death. And a society will arise one that knows 
nothing of the past. When they have time invent love and 
think they are the only one who has the capability to feel 
empathy. Invent the alphabet write sentimental love songs 
extolling their virtuousness, then cover the land in asphalt. 
But as always, if you listen, the forest sings a dirge.
