Destruction

Destruction pervades the trees,
The bark ablaze with amber, you see?
Scorching flames shimmer through charred wood,
Choking the lungs of any that should.

Destruction pervades the high,
Clouds of black fumes billow into the sky.
Proud trees begin to bend and then crumble,
Specimens start to topple, fall and stumble.

Destruction pervades the homes,
Constructing a death-trapped dome.
Watching as nature methodically wipes out,
Flames devours the lands to shout.

As Destruction pervades the trees,
Everything is all gone, you see?
