They Shut The Road
They shut the road through the woods
and opened the gates to hell.
Lost in turmoil,
the direction home
was obscured by lethal choices.
Verbally engineered limbs
strewn in all directions
steal the truth.
Roots,
ripped from their foundation
wither in exploitation.
Sharp stones rupture
the solid path.
Mutilated saplings
hemorrhage,
mangled in deception.
Trembling,
pain bleeding down my cheeks,
I cry out for assistance,
arms extended upwards;
a gale wind comes to my rescue
and leads me towards the Eternal Word.
