The earth is soaked with blood cells
Once circulating with living purpose
The trees blackened with ashen aspects
Scorched by human conflagration
The water thickens with vile taints
Its spawn flopping in ghastly spasms
And the sky…
Stained with dying perspirations
Weaves its unnaturally coloured shroud
