Copse of forest, bright with life
Labyrinth of verdancy
With fallen leafs the floor is rife
Birds and beasts abounding free.
Enter Man
Fallen founts of wood spit smoke
Wild does the forest burn
Axes torches writing choke
And bereave the final fern.
Enter Children
Concrete castle mars the skies
Classrooms bustle busily
Silenced are the students' cries
Of life's remaining mystery.
Enter Strife
Broken metal, shattered glass
Order falls with empty clips
Soldiers run through lead morass
Destruction at their heels nips.
Exit Man
Quiet corpse of stone and steel
There the wind resides alone
Time will work to mend and heal
Till the forest's fully grown
Enter Nature
Copse of forest bright with life
Labyrinth of verdancy
With fallen leafs the floor is rife
Birds and beasts abounding free.
