BIRD TREE ROCK FISH

Bird came and told me
The Human Beings
Are in a large black box
floating on the waters

They have animals and plants within
They torment the animals
Poison the plants
Kill the birds

Tree asked slowly roundly
His deep voice echoing in my chest
Why do Human Beings do this

Because
They are in the Box I answered
The Box keeps out the light and air

Then Break the Box Tree rumbled

They fear to break the box I answered
They fear the light
The Guardians of the Box
Say they will drown in
the vasty waters

But they can swim said Tree
Break the Box

The box is breaking
Of its own accord I answered
Not all can swim
Some will drown

'Then let them drown'
Rock's soft voice rose silent in my head
'This is the way of all nature'

Then Nature be damned
I said angering
From fear of nature
We built the box
And yes now it shuts
Out the light

But my anger cooled
I knew the Box would break
And the drowning could not
be stopped

And deep within
The voice of Fish
no voice at all
< none will drown
but let them come
to Me >
