Take heed
You dare spread the destruction from whence you came
Take heed
You who share frame & limb with those who breathe
Take heed
You whose youth shall quiver before our breadth

I've felt the mass of a fractured world
Bear down upon my diminished branches

Take heed
All that has seen lost you lost was ours to claim
Take heed
All that has been lost you lost is yours to blame

Seeds linger after droughts
There is no lingering distance between you and death
Life blooms after doubts
Your kind has done nothing
