I keep telling myself,
Just got to get through,
Grasp whatever next I reach,
Beach as one complete piece,
Keep that free speech race going,
Communicate across the universe,
All the way to the next space,
Vocalizing with prepossessed congregations,
Resounding verbs and adverbs in every far-off place,
Oral music with the horned red devil,
Camping secretly in those haunted woods,
Not far from that black and white crossroads,
Dancing and singing and cringing,
Braying under the impartial moon,
Past regent and magnificence,
Behold a sacred tree of life,
Fair Eden's giant old growth tower,
Nurturing this magnificent mother,
Deep notes played,
Chorale from Middle-Earth to Outer-Space,
Cellulose Being displayed,
Incarnate upon this earthly power,
Adorned with fungi and tree rings,
Consecrated with cones and pollen time,
Already 'Old Wood' way back at Year One,
Carved over reframing millenia,
Human mystery and epochal logistics,
Measuring grain and thickness,
Density of ancient distended bark,
Industry measures dismemberment and allowable cut,
Voracity for nature with unholy creed,
Corporate audacity and viral greed,
Forest destiny activated by consumer need,
Marketing board feet into National Interests,
Calculating unequivocal monetary value,
Incorporating quality economic locations,
Destruction appears imminent,
Prayers spoken as a sufferable stipend,
Upending stealthy evil,
A Nation's upstanding wealthy cause,
Timid nature never complains or pauses,
Economic growth brings out the sharpest saws,
Murk and clouds shroud other infamous refrains,
Forest life force and Wisdom's sage domain,
Mediocrity denotes every renewable resource clause,
Scattering sublimely integrated woodchips,
Associating presumed heaven with groomed earth,
Disintegrating nature with gloom and strife,
Sprite doomsday clicking its shyster heels,
Commending every blip and dip,
Disinterested in sacred natural turf,
Literally unmoved by the Fat Man,
Consuming such liberal width and girth,
Removing the last standing tree of life.
