Runes • Nature • Holocaust / Terracaust
Two poems that compare the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest to the Holocaust.

Holocaust

Before my birth
The Jewish were slain
Gassed and burned
Person after person
Beyond comprehension
Genocide
How? I ask
Such a short time ago
Before I had a name
Who was responsible?
The disgrace was so strong
Yet from the darkness
I was born

Terracaust

After my birth
Amazonia is slain
Slashed and burned
Tree after tree
Beyond comprehension
Cellulcide
How? I ask
In this modern age
I have no name
For now I am responsible
My love is so weak
And from the lightness
I must die
