Revenge of the Leaves
Revenge of the Leaves
They all came together in one place
Each with each and all with all
They said their piece
From early Spring to almost Fall
They listened intent to understand
What was to become of the rest of Man
After assimilation's of the great debate
A conclusion was decided on their fate
After man had raked, pillaged & burned their kin
Destroying memories of those within
The great leaves of trees would finally take revenge
'Let US no longer give air for them to breathe
No longer the beauty of our Majesty
Never again provide shade from the Sun
Let them burn, as our Fathers had been done
From that day forward till the end
Trees and leaves held their breath
Until all the ‘Rakers had died
The most boring of deaths
... and for any that may come long after
That sound you hear of breeze in the trees
Is the leaves in their laughter.
