The Tree
by Kalah
With haunting smiles,
With devilish hooks,
The children weep,
And the men are crooks,
With snarling lips,
With gaping jaws,
The earth screams,
And the flesh is law,
With wicked plans
With toiling minds,
The darkness lives,
And the great are mines,
With confusing songs,
With miserable sighs,
The pupil blinded,
And the truths are lies.
