Cut you down

I will cut you down with my axe
Let life grow once more
Build again and I will kill you
You have killed our brothers, our neighbors, our shade
But I will not kill yours
I will be the better man
I will just look beyond to the things you can’t destroy
The tall mountains, the sky
I hope you enjoy the filth of your money
I hope it makes you lonely in your deathbed
Reincarnation as a tree
That would be best for you
I will not cut you down, for I am the better man
I will use you for shade and shelter
I will enjoy your beauty

Just something I wrote in my rage against human development and its destruction of nature.

I like this, but it does need some work. Bonita has a point. Since I share you
"rage" against the destroyers of nature and the environment, I would like to see
you succeed with your writing. "Reincarnation as a tree" is so great. I love that line.
(Of course we may not be thinking of exactly the same people). Anyway, it's obvious
that your heart is in the right (and the write) place.

Well written in conveying your intent, Kyle. Since you are working on your first book, you might want to read "Writers' Seven Deadly Sins" pointing out why rejection slips are prolific and contracts hard to come by. You will find a copy of it amidst my AD webpages.

Hey kyle,

It is great to see you are still at it.

Are you able to update from sea?
I offer to make updates for you if you can't.
Of course you may want to dump your download when you return.

Either way, Nice piece

Rage the oil well fire which can only be qwelled by the key stroke.

I salute you, friend.
