Oak

The grim timber for destructive constructs
Of war machines, of spears and arrows
In time of terror, its somber moan chills air
And fuels the hottest fires of the forge

Ever unfazed, the Oak maintains
That ghastly ambiance of buried winging
Post and pending conflict 
Its song remains the same.
