I Want

Crack of a whip and snap of a twig
Chop of a tree, performs a fire-jig
Lit up by fury of the heavens up high
Fire pours down, smothers the woods' cry
Clap like thunder and crash like light
Horses whinny, run away in fright
Humans want more but have yet to give
The earth below them, care not if it lives.
