The Girl And the Beasts

Have you heard the tale of the girl

With ember eyes

And ashen hair

Didn't have any "desirable" characters

Nor any precious commodities

Or so everyone thought

But her heart was pure as the driven snow

A soul warm as the sun

Used to lay under the pines

With her harp

Would sing to birds and beasts

Considered her their shaman, they did

Adams and Eves

Thought her crazy

And thus she lived

Within the unventured greens

It was a time when man and beast

Lived in peace

But soon the population of men rose

Needed more space they did

And so stole their land

Burned the greens and cut the woods

Save our homes and our hides

Pleaded the creatures to the shaman

Unwillingly

She tried to parlay

Only to face sticks and stones

Seeing this the creatures retreated

Deeper and deeper into the unknown

But far-seeing the girl was

Knew that a pit of endless greed

That existed within her kind

Would devour her domain

Hopeless and jaded

Turned to the skies

But no help came

As the forests

Became thinner and thinner

And that's when she snapped

Lost her calm and patience

Summoned her loyal followers

With one spell she drove them mad

They tore her into pieces and

Devoured her

When they came back to their senses

Regret and sorrow was all they saw

Some of them

Blamed the humans

And pledged revenge

Only flesh we'll eat from now on

Human flesh and so carnivores they became

The others felt sorry but didn't quite agree

Decided to stick to leaves and greens

And thus came to be herbivores

Enraging the carnivores side by side

Hunt and kill the herbs

Eradicate them and the humans we shall

This their motto became

When the war broke

Unaware of the tale

Adam decided to go after both

Purging many

Reducing numerous

And cultivating the faithful

The war got over long ago

The humans had finally won

Nearly wiped out all the beasts

Till some called for peace

And protection of the beasts

And that is the bitter story of the girl

And the beasts

What was her name you ask

Nature is what she was called
