Mountain Forrest After End of Humanity

Mountain Forests Driving through the vast forests Of Central Oregon Through the wall of trees I imagine them talking to me The trees are whispering Dark satanic rituals Voodoo mumble jumble Evil chanting Then they speak Loud and clear Welcome humans To our world You think you are The king of the world The lords of creation Masters of the universe? Soon, all too soon God and Gaia his daughter Will tire of you Their latest plaything They will discard you Throw you down Disgusted at the world You have made You took the world They gave you for your pleasure This huge wonderful world Filled with life You took a paradise Beautiful, bountiful Rich and wonderful world Turned it into a sewer dump God and Gaia Are not happy Not happy at all With you stupid humans They will rise up Smite you down And turn you Into dust in the cosmic wind And we will laugh and we will be witnesses at your funeral but we will not cry No one will cry No one will miss you No one cares about The fate of humanity And so you Will fade away Into the distance past Just dust in the cosmic wind And the trees started laughing And the birds and bees And all the other animals All joined in the manically laughter Laughing at the prospect Of poetic justice For the enemies Of the natural world And the coyotes And the wolves Joined in howling Under the light of the full moon Thus I imagined Would be the end of days The end of the world And the end of humanity
