A tree sheds skin
Loses branches
Peels with the sun
Falling with the leaves
Yet it is still the same
Flaws and benefits
Until it is chopped down
Then everyone complains
About a tree they never cared for
Until it was gone

Mother's care
Filling holes
By giving life
Does a baby enjoy strife?
Fertile nature
Brings devastation
You created life
To satisfy your vacancy

Intuition
Superstition
Reflecting on rivers
Twisted by moonlight
Illusions and tricks
Among the sticks
Clarity, duality
Pieces of a mystery
The lightest stars
Cast the deepest shadows
Deception remains wrong
But it sells in bulk
En masse, selling masks
Blinded by reflections

Would you open a door
If you knew what was coming?
Would you step on the frame
If the other side was worse?
Would you twist the doorknob
If what awaited was pain?
Pain brings progress
But all ours seems unnecessary
Necessary to progress
But all we do is beat others down
When we lift others up
We push ourselves down
But maybe, that's okay
Because in the end
Living is not ethical

The living envy the dead
The dead envy not even one
Peace is a distant memory
Only available to the ignorant
Until it begins to harm you
You never cared about humanity
Humans are created to be machines
Gone is the world of sanity
Now we remember
There is no justice or morality
All words that can be ignored
Saving the world?
Cannot agree on saving ourselves
We are our own downfall
No invasion, no climate
Just us, begging for the end

Venom overflowing
Poison growing
You want to get better
But you drank it
You want to be happy
But you breathe it
You want to be loved
But you deal in hatred
The house has won
You put it all on black
Now you will come out red

We gained our pride
Lost our dignity
Now all that remains
Are fractured identities
Decimation, the core of humanity
For destructive beings
Is there an end to enmity?
