The Chainsaw Massacre

Screech, buzz, thump

No, this time it wasn't a dizzy myna or bumble bee

It sounded more unnatural, out of place

The gentle breeze that halted quite agreed

Perhaps this is what they call machinery

Caw,Caw,Caw, the raven perched upon my branch

Flew in haste, fear chased her away

As did the rest of her family

The deafening sounds refused to cease

THUD

I looked down, and saw dad dead at my feet

I felt as if all my leaves had withered

All at once

Without the ritual of fall, to ease the pain

I felt as if the Sun

Could never shine bright enough

To help my leaves resurface again

All the water from the heavens above

Wouldn't help my roots suck their bounty

I'd only be parched forever

Rooted to the mud for all of eternity

But at that moment, it felt alien

As though all those years before,

When the wind didn't feel as heavy as it does now

When squirrels jumped from my bark to dad's

When birds' sweet melodies never sounded this melancholy

As though all those years before,

I had moved

And now I've forgotten how to

My bright green leaves were out of place

They ought to have turned dull brown, blackened by now

By the way my entire body felt

One drifted down, to meet the bark

Lifeless together

A dead part of mine

Upon the dead entirety of his

Silver shone in the light

Abrasive screeches rang in the sultry air

Sultry, for all around me

Every being I ever knew

Lay like my father, corpses piled atop one another

The deadly noise reached it's hiatus

As I watched these humans come for me

To think that I nurtured their lives

Gave them air to suck mine out

To think that I survived off of their tainted refuse

Left me in a haze, as the noise pierced through

I bid adieu to the sun and moon

My insides burned, pain erupted from within

As if.......

I was being halved

THUMP

The last sound I heard, was mine
