It was amusing, When the woods
were chopped down
It was amusing, To see them fuck up
and burn it to the ground
It took a minute
Until they realized it at the end
Legalizing the dismantling of the woods
Was gonna overload the system that hung by a thread
They fawned over their ideas
Said they had the control
And failed to observe that
the winds had begun to swirl
Defenestrated anyone
That spoke against them
They didn’t realize that control
Was a mesmerizing illusion, a game
Against their lavish gesticulations
Lies and advocacy
The flames of rebellion
had managed to ignite
