I danced through forests,
brought to their knees,
all the cut-up wood,
making me sneeze;
ran through the fields, of machinery,
got to the water, of oily sea;
I had travelled to find, the last bird,
I needed to ask, something I’d heard;
the bird began to sing, a sad song,
we should have been listening, all along;
“in seven days time, humans will die,
they had chances, he sang with a sigh;
they only took, and gave nothing more,
when they fought nature, they won that war;
stubborn human hearts, killed all things live,
but who cares who wins, if they don’t survive.”
