Barren

How many trees can one tell
When many an axe have scarred
How many comrades have fallen?
In that forest so far


Saws and axes
Hatchets of stone
These trees topple back to back
Their wood breaks like bone


Sap falls like crimson rain


Foreshadowing to our barren end


No amount of love can change their pain


Stumps as a symbol of what humanity can wrend


What is wood worth?


What will sate this dirth?


(Here's a lil poem I wrote, just got mildly inspired by a stump outside -w-")
