Dense green forests
do you hear?
The secrets I whisper
in your ear.
Of lovely maidens
and haughty kings
Of reigns of peace
and deathly dispute
Of steamy warriors
and pleading cowards
Of sensual beauty
and gross reality
Of heady love
and vengeful hatred
Of sapping poverty
and indulgent wealth
Of riveting success
and unnerving failure
Of sublime knowledge
and hollow ignorance
Of biblical yesterday
and nuclear today
Of you and me
and entire humanity
Dense green forests
dead and gone
Who will hear ?
of my lonely sojourn.
