You shield your
untainted eyes from me?
**
Look what you have done.
**
Ripping me from the glacial ground
when I was just quietly around.
**
My golden olive stem,
once vibrant with ruffled silky petals,
now condemned,
parts of my being
burned into your bronze
exterior of what you
call a dwelling.
**
How dare you think you are
the only one to give new life.
**
Threatened by my treasure
that could have given others pleasure,
**
harmony
hope
happiness
**
Cease that
demon’s fiery glass orb
from doing
your dirty work.
**
You are not
as innocent as
some would believe.
**
There is no room
for me in your world,
I must suffer
from your egotistical consequence.
